Ohio  University  is  more  than  just  an 

academic  center  or  a  party  school, 

its  two  most  conflicting  images. 


The  fact  is,  there 

are  as  many  as  10 

different  images  of 

Ohio  University, 

perhaps  more. 


Each  image  alone,  though,  is  a  lie.  But  when 
brought  together,  the  10  images  of  Ohio  University 
form  an  illusion  of  the  whole  ...  of  the  real  school.

Wearing  an  OU  T-shirt,  well-known  German  director 
Wim  Wenders  attended  a  1979  festival  workshop. 

Kit  Fitzgerald  and  John  Sanborn  demonstrated  the 
Thompson  -  CSF  Minicam  at  the  1979  Athens  Video 
Festival. 

Robert  Blalack  and  Jamie  Shourt,  who  worked  on  the 
special  effects  in  Star  Wars,  participated  in  a  live 
cablecast  workshop  during  the  1979  Athens 
International  Film  Festival. 

"The  Doodlers",  a  film  by  Kathy  Rose. 


The  seventh  annual  Athens 
International  Film  Festival  held 
April  25  through  May  4  at  the  new 
Athena  Theater  complex  screened 
more  than  400  films,  ranging  from 
two-minute  animation  shorts  to 
two-hour  features. 

The  festival,  partially  funded  by 
the  Ohio  Arts  Council  and  the  OU 
College  of  Fine  Arts,  used  "Anima- 
tion: Origins  and  Progress"  as  its 


main  theme  this  year.  The  program 
featured  workshops  with  Disney 
and  National  Film  Board  of  Canada 
animators,  screenings  of  experi- 
mental animation,  and  retrospec- 
tive screenings  by  independent 
animators  such  as  Jules  Engel,  Paul 
Glabicki,  and  Al  Jarnow.  For  the  first 
time  in  history,  the  festival  transmit- 
ted the  workshops  by  satellite  to 
public  television  stations  across  the

country,  thereby  expanding  its 
audience  to  thousands. 

A  second  festival  theme  was 
"Genre  of  War"  which  examined 
historical  developments  in  the  war 
film  "All  Quiet  on  the  Western 
Front"  (1930)  to  "Apocolypse  Now" 
(1979). 

The  festival  also  continued  its 
International  Film  Competition 
which    attracted    independent 


filmmakers  and  producers  from  the 
United  States,  Canada  and  Europe 
in  the  categories  of  animation,  short 
story,  experimental,  documentary 
and  feature. 

Also  included  in  the  festival 
was  the  1980  Ohio  University  Film 
Conference  on  "Film  and  Culture" 
which  focused  on  the  cultural  and 
psychological  ways  spectators  view 
films.  Panels  and  screenings  inclu- 


ded topics  on  Early  American 
Cinema  as  a  Cultural  Force,  Film  and 
Anthropology  and  Film  and  Per- 
ceptual Theory. 

One  special  feature  of  the 
festival  was  its  showcase  of  the  1979 
Whitney  Biennial  Film  Exhibition 
from  New  York.  The  exhibition 
included  a  series  of  19  current  films 
by  top  independent  filmmakers  in 
the  United  States.

Although  uptown  costumes  sometimes  involved  a  great 
deal  ol  time  and  money,  a  little  lacial  paint  or  hair  die

nly  in  Athens  could  Jesus  Christ 
meet  the  devil  himself  in  a  spirit  of 
fun  and  good  times.  Only  in  Athens 
and  only  on  the  night  of  the  now 
annual  Halloween  party,  held 
Saturday,  October  27. 

Approximately  5000  people 
jammed  the  uptown  area,  forcing 
the  closing  of  Court  Street  between 
Union  and  State  streets.  However, 
no  official  party  was  planned  for 
uptown,  because  city  and  university 
officials  agreed  there  would  be  too 


many  problems  involved  with  the 
large  crowd  it  would  attract. 

Meanwhile,  about  4000  people 
attended  the  offical  university 
party,  held  in  the  Convocation 
Center,  featuring  the  Marching 
110.  After  the  band  show,  the 
crowd  dwindled  to  about  500  and 
was  almost  evenly  split  between 
students  and  parents  in  town  for 
Parent's  Weekend.  The  Convo 
party  offered  a  rock'n'roll  band,  a 
costume  judging  contest,  a  pizza-

eating  contest,  and  food,  beer  and 
kisses  for  sale.  Big  Bird,  won  the 
costume  contest  and  the  runners- 
up  included  one  student  whose 
costume  was  a  portable  television 
over  his  head. 

Uptown,  the  mood  was  more 
rowdy  and  less  inhibited.  And 
confirming  everyone's  fears,  a  large 
proportion  of  uptown  partiers  were 
from  out-of-town.  Of  141  people 
arrested  that  night,  only  26  were 
university  students.  As  the  evening 


progressed,  police  overlooked 
open  container  violations,  and  the 
smell  of  marijuana  was  noticable  at 
times.  Several  of  the  costumes  worn 
uptown  were  of  dubious  taste,  such 
as  the  people  that  went  as  toilet 
seats.  Many  were  simply  strange 
and  creative  combinations  of  paint, 
aluminum  foil  and  cardboard. 

The  bars  were  jam-packed.  The 
many  unlucky  ones  who  could  not 
get  in  had  to  content  themselves 
with  parading  down  Court  Street 


and    gawking   at    the    decorated 
masses. 

The  added  hour  gained  from 
the  switch  to  standard  time  took  its 
toll  and  by  the  time  the  bars  closed 
most  people  had  gone  home,  and 
the  streets  were  again  opened  to 
traffic. 

Soon,  the  city  crews  were  out 
in  the  rainy,  early-morning  hours,   s 
cleaning  the  mess,  thus  signalling  J 
the  end  of  this  year's  "Mardi  Cras  of  5 
the  Midwest."  I

he  175  anniversary  and  "Ohio's 
first    university"   were    condensed 
into  one  theme  for  Homecoming 
1979,   which    took    place   on    Sep 
tember  28,  29  and  30. 

Although  homecoming  united 
students  and  alumni,  each  group 
had  its  own  activities  planned.  The 
alumni  were  invited  to  the 
homecoming  dance  at  the  Baker 
Center  Ballroom  Friday  night  and  a 
homecoming  luncheon  Saturday 
afternoon.  The  dance  featured 
reknowned  musicians  Sammy  Kaye, 
a  1932  graduate,  and  Ernie  Mariani, 
of  1943.  Music  was  also  provided  by 
the  Sounds  of  Rhythm  and  Brass. 

Activities  for  the  students 
included  a  pep  rally  and  bonfire, 
followed  by  fireworks  on  the  golf 
course  Friday  night. 

The  Saturday  morning  parade 


featured  the  candidates  for  Ms. 
Bronze,  the  Marching  110,  the 
alumni  band,  which  played  the  fight 
song  much  to  the  crowd's  delight, 
various  fraternity,  sorority  and 
community  floats,  several  area 
marching  bands,  Girl  Scout,  Brow- 
nie and  Boy  Scout  troops,  Athens 
Mayor  Donald  Barrett,  and  several 
distinguished  alumni,  including 
Kaye,  Mariani  and  Wilfred  Kon- 
neker. 

The  Arnold  Air  Society,  spon- 
sored by  Your  Father's  Mustache 
and  Kerr  Distributors,  entered  the 
winning  float.  Zeta  Tau  Alpha  won 
the  campus-wide  banner  contest. 

A  crowd  of  17,571  watched  the 
Bobcat  football  team  destroy  Kent 
State,  43-13.  The  offense  continued 
to  be  led  by  junior  running  back 
Tony  Carifa,  who  rushed  for   133 


yards  in  19  carries  and  sophomore 
quarterback  Sammy  Shon,  who 
passed  for  165.  Cornerback  Joe 
Callan  picked  off  his  sixth  pass  of 
the  season  to  continue  to  lead  the 
nation  in  interceptions,  and  his 
team's  defense. 

That  night,  the  Pop  Concert 
Committee  and  ACRN  presented  a 
concert  in  the  Convocation  Center 
featuring  Styx.  Over  11,500  people 
attended  the  90  minute  concert, 
which  featured  such  songs  as 
"Lady,"  "The  Grand  Illusion,"  and 
"Renegade,"  as  well  as  songs  from 
their  just-released  album  "Corner- 
stone." Drummer  John  Panozzo 
electrified  the  crowd  on  "Ren- 
egade" with  a  five-minute  solo,  and 
guitarist  Tommy  Shaw  had  the 
audience  on  its  feet  after  his  solo  on 
"Crystal    Ball."    After   the   encore, 


18 


"Miss  America,"  the  masses  headed 
uptown  to  jam-pack  the  bars. 

Homecoming  also  kicked  off 
the  Black  Student  Cultural  Pro- 
gramming Board's  annual  cultural 
drive.  Several  scholarships  were 
funded  by  the  Black  Homecoming 
Queen  Fund  Drive.  The  candidate 
who  raised  the  most  money,  Kim 
Roper,  of  Cincinnati,  was  crowned 
Ms.  Bronze  at  the  dance.  Roper  was 
a  freshman  sponsored  by  the 
Omega  Psi  Phi  fraternity. 

The  Alumni  were  invited  back 
for  homecoming  by  a  joint  effort  of 
the  Student  Alumni  Board  and  the 
Center  Program  Board.  Because  of  | 
the  school's  175th  aniversity  drive,  I 
more    activities    were    presented    I 
than  in  previous  years.

Top  -  Singing  was  not  the  only  attraction,  as

Bottom  -  Cameo  brought  the  crowd  to  its 
leet  with  some  funky  music.

SPRING  FEST 

It  was  the  perfect  setting  for  a 
celebration.  There  was  spring 
sunshine,  music,  dancing,  and  a 
raffle.  There  were  still  two  weeks 
before  finals,  and  midterms  were 
mostly  in  the  past.  There  was  beer 
—  and  lots  of  it.  And  there  was  a 
crowd  —  over  9,000  students  and 
visitors. 

Celebrants  were  treated  to  the 
sounds  of  Cameo,  Jay  Ferguson  and 
McCuffey  Lane,  a  local  country 
rock  band;  as  well  as  Balanese 
dancing;  an  exhibition  of  the 
martial  arts  by  the  Karate  Club  and 
a  performance  by  the  O.  J.  Ande- 


20 


rson  Mime  Troupe.  Ian  Matthews 
was  also  scheduled  to  perform,  but 
apparently  Matthews  just  decided 
not  to  make  the  trip.  The  crowd  did 
not  seem  to  mind  since  the  other 
three  bands  supplied  several  hours 
of  music.  Students  and  visitors  also 
entertained  themselves  by  flying 
kites,  playing  backgammon  under 
the  sun,  visiting  several  booths  set 
up  by  campus  organizations, 
mingling,  and  most  of  all  tossing 
frisbees. 

The  Spring  Celebration,  held 
May  19  at  the  Mill  Street  field,  was 
the  result  of  eight  months  of 
planning  by  the  Spring  Celebration 


Committee,  a  branch  of  the  Stu- 
dent Activities  Commission  chaired 
by  Jim  Holt  and  Tony  Pierfelice.  The 
festival  was  termed  a  success  in  the 
sense  of  the  heavy  turnout,  in  spite 
of  a  disappointing  raffle  ticket  sale 
sponsored  by  the  celebration 
committee.  Only  1,000  one-dollar 
tickets  were  sold,  according  to 
Andy  Colfield,  a  committee  mem- 
ber. Various  student  activities  and 
organizations  raised  another  8,000, 
and  the  committee  also  received 
support  from  area  merchants. 

Pierfelice  pointed  out  that  if 
there  had  been  more  student 
response  to  the  raffle,  bigger-name 


bands  could  have  been  booked. 
"Everyone  was  screaming  for 
national  entertainment,"  he  said, 
"but  they  wouldn't  support  us.  We 
got  good  entertainment,  but  it  was 
stuff  that  a  lot  of  people  hadn't 
heard  of." 

Colfield   also   expressed    his 
disappointment    in    the    student 
response.  "They  (the  students)  take 
it  for  granted  there  will  always  be  a 
Spring  Festival,"  he  said.  "They  go 
to  all  the  trouble  of  inviting  friends    s 
from  out  of  town,  but  they  don't    1 
take  time  to  spend  one  lousy  dollar   « 
for  a  raffle  ticket."  3

were  all  part  of  the  day's 
activities.

enjoyed  Spring  Festival 
was  in  the  crowd.  Some 
listened  on  the  bank  of

enjoyable  day  wearied 
some  while  others

Assistant  to  the  Vice  President 
Ted  Kohan  waited  for  the  9  p.m. 
opening  of  the  175th  Anniversary 
Party.  While  adjusting  the  chairs 
surrounding  the  floor  he  probably 
wondered  whether  the  free  subs 
and  cake  would  satisfy  the  crowd. 
Perhaps  no  one  will  come  anyway, 
and  then  what  would  happen  to  the 
food? 

Meanwhile,  security  took  their 
positions  at  the  exits  of  the  floor 
area,  ready  to  deal  with  any 
violence  that  might  occur.  It  was, 
after  all,  the  weekend  before  finals, 
which  had  been  plagued  with  riots 


virtually  every  spring  since  1969. 
However,  it  was  hoped  that  the 
party  would  help  stop  these 
uptown  disturbances,  although 
prior  attempts  by  the  university  to 
stop  them,  such  as  the  Spring 
Festival,  hadn't  had  much  success. 
On  the  other  side  of  campus, 
Michelle  Stronz,  Mark  Henry  and 
other  members  of  the  Committee 
On  Peaceful  Existance  were  waiting 
anxiously.  COPE  had  been  blitzing 
the  campus  for  weeks,  with  adver- 
tising and  personal  talks,  trying  to 
raise  student  awareness  of  the 
disturbances.  COPE  hoped  that  if 


24 


Left  -  Earlier  fears  (hat  a  $3 
cover  charge  would  keep 
students  away  were 
realized.  Less  than  1000 
attended  what  had  been 
billed  as  "the  world's 
largest  birthday  party." 

Right  -  Police  played  a 
hard  line  against  rioters. 

Bottom  -  COPE'S  slide

the  students  understood  what  the 
trouble  was  really  like,  they  would 
not  participate. 

Back  in  the  Convocation  Cen- 
ter, two  sides  of  the  floor  were 
flanked  with  a  row  of  tables  which 
each  boasted  an  abundance  of 
Fritos  and  potato  chips.  The  front 
was  the  stage  with  musical  instru- 
ments and  stacks  of  speakers 
demanding  the  basketball  back- 
boards make  way.  On  one  side,  a 
booth  was  selling  beer  and  mixed 
drink  tickets,  the  only  things  not 
covered  in  the  three  dollar  admis- 
sion fee.   The  other  side  foamed 


with  beer  and  mixed  drinks. 

A  small  crowd  entered  at  9  p.m. 
The  total  attendence  was  about 
500,  much  fewer  than  the  2000 
hoped  for. 

Two  bands,  The  Seeds  of 
Fulfillment  and  Brass  Tracks  provi- 
ded music  for  dancing  most  of  the 
evening.  Comedian  Jimmie  Walker 
of  CBS'  "Good  Times"  finished  the 
entertainment  at  1  a.m.,  in  time  for 
an  ample  amount  of  submarine 
sandwiches  and  a  huge  anniversary 
cake. 

But  uptown,  it  happened  again. 
By  3:30  a.m.,  a  crowd  of  people  had 


taken   over  Court   Street  and   the 
police  came  out  in  full  riot  gear. 
Firing   knee-knockers  and   waving 
billie  clubs,  the  police  pushed  the 
crowd  off  Court  Street  and  down 
Jefferson    Hill.    There    were    some 
arrests,    but   the   crowd    and    the 
disturbances    were    much    smaller 
than  in  the  previous  years.   Most 
people    had,    apparently,    stayed 
away.  Although  any  anxieties  about 
poor  attendance  at  the  party  were    s 
fulfilled,  the  party  and  the  efforts  of    | 
COPE    helped   control   the  annual    f 
disturbance.  I

The  first  day  of  school  means 
the  hassle  and  pain  of  packing  and 
unpacking.  Moving  in  involves 
unpacking  junk,  arranging  furniture 
and  simply  putting  the  room  in 
order.  Boxes  are  scattered  and 
eventually  the  once  bleak  and 
barren  space  becomes  alive. 

But  for  some,  no  university 
housing  was  available  when  they 
arrived.  Robert  Hynes,  Director  of 


Resident  Service  and  Auxilaries, 
explained  that  there  were  more 
students  than  anticipated. 

Capacity  accomodations  for 
students  totaled  about  6,400,  but 
6,600  were  assigned  housing.  So 
James  and  Wilson  Halls,  both  closed 
to  residents  last  year,  reopened. 

The  university  filled  requests 
for  housing  from  about  100  Hock- 
ing   Technical    College    students. 


26 


Left  -  It  seems  to  take  lorever  to  unpack, 
but  it  is  satisfying  once  finished. 

Right  -  Moving  in  is  both  exciting  and 
fearful  as  thoughts  of  meeting  new  people, 
making  new  friends,  and  attending 
different  classes  go  through  minds  of 
students  like  Will  Parks. 

Bottom  Right  -  Finding  just  the  right  place 
for  everything  is  hard  in  a  small  dorm  room. 


These  students  moved  into  Wilson 
Hall  while  OU  students  shuffled 
over  to  James  Hall. 

Hynes  said  there  were  no 
accomodations  for  James  and 
Wilson  residents  in  the  Boyd  Hall 
dining  facility,  so  these  students  ate 
in  another  dining  hall.  Shortly  after 
fall  quarter  began,  a  new  system 
was  designed  to  take  care  of  this 
problem. 


In  addition  to  service  prob- 
lems, the  maintence  staff  had  to  be 
re-adjusted. 

Fortunately,  OU  fared  better  in 
residence  housing  than  many  other 
campuses  in  Ohio.  OU  has  not  had 
to  house  their  students  in  libraries, 
lounges  and  in  unused  classrooms.

GRADUATION 

This  is  what  its  all  about.  Four 
years,  more  or  less,  at  school  comes 
to  a  climax  with  graduation,  and 
more  than  one  student  has  strug- 
gled through  a  senior  year  with  only 
one  thought:  getting  that  sheeps- 
kin. 

During  commencement  exer- 
cises on  June  9, 1979,  2,130  degrees 
were  presented,  including  Honora- 
ry Degrees  to  Lillian  Carter,  the 
president's  mother,  and  Oliver 
Ocasek,  Ohio  senator.  Dr.  John 
Baker,  former  OU  president,  gave

^L 


Students,  football  fanatics  and  those  out  for  a  good 
time  are  inseparable  at  an  OU  football  game.  A  valid  ID 
is  the  pass  and  enthusiasm  is  the  only  pre-requisite  to 
enjoying  a  Saturday  afternoon  at  the  stadium  where  hot 
dogs,  popcorn  and  alcohol  abound. 

Despite  the  "45  cents,  I'll  take  all  the  nickles  you  got'' 
soda,  the  celebration  is  basically  a  BYOB  affair.  And 
many  students  do  bring  their  own  to  mix  or  drink  straight. 
From  wineskins  and  hidden  flasks,  spirits  drain  into 
students  increasing  the  rowdiness  and  enthusiasm. 

By  half  time,  the  crowd  is  ready.  It's  the  moment 
many  have  been  awaiting.  The  OU  Marching  110 
assembles  on  the  field  to  play  such  unorthodox  songs  as 
"Dancin'   Fool"   by  Frank  Zappa.  When   the  Doobie 


Brothers'  "Long  Train  Running"  is  announced,  cheers 
come  from  the  stands  and  a  Long  Train  Running  card 
section  flashes  its  message  from  the  top  of  the  students' 
bleachers.  The  band  makes  its  transformation  from 
marching  to  dancing  band  while  fans  applaud  every  dip, 
whirl  and  kick. 

After  half  time,  the  exodus  of  students  who  came 
mostly  to  see  the  band  attests  to  its  popularity.  However 
popular,  band  members  are  never  very  successful  when, 
with  perspiration  still  fresh  on  their  faces,  they  attempt 
to  sell  their  album. 

Now  that  the  stands  are  emptier,  the  Bobcat's  job  is 
harder.  His  tail  bounces  from  cheek  to  cheek  as  he  pads

down,  clap  and  yell  their  support  for  the  team  and 
entertain  the  audience  by  somersaulting  and  diving  onto 
thick  pads.  Athletic  males  hold  the  diminutive  girls  in 
impossible  poses.  They  keep  their  pep  until  the  final 
ten-second   countdown    when    the   crowd    pushes   to 


squeeze  through  the  gates. 

Sometimes  fans  leave  with  sunburned  cheeks  and 
sometimes  with  rain-soaked  hair.  Long  after  sunburns 
fade,  hair  dries  and  the  score  is  forgotten,  students  will 
remember  a  typical  day  at  the  game.

Qauld  this  be  Athens? 


Fashion  at  Ohio  University 
What  it  could  be 


40 


Fashion  is  something  you  read  about  in  magazines. 
There's  no  such  thing  in  Athens.  Comfort,  not  vogue, 
dictates  dressing  here.  And  no  matter  how  long  the  media 
rejoices  over  "the  preppy  look"  or  "the  disco  clothes", 
they'll  never  make  the  bigtime  here. 

We  dress  like  we're  in   the  country  —   probably 


because  we  are.  There  are  a  lot  of  old  worn  jeans  seen 
about  town  and  a  lot  of  boots.  And  if  you  happen  to  be 
uptown  on  a  weekend  sometime,  you'll  see  more  than 
one  cowboy-hatted  fellow  leaning  against  the  bar.  But 
that  is  not  to  say  we're  "into"  western  wear. 

Actually,  we're  not  into  any  particular  style.  Take  a

not  really  exist.  Sophis-

students  wear  whatever 
pleases  them. 


stroll  down  college  street  sometime.  You'll  see  more 
'Gators  than  you  can  count,  along  with  a  healthy  supply 
of  buttondowns,  crew  necks  and  topsiders. 

We  also  maintain  our  status  in  a  league  of 
name-droppers.  We  wear  Calvin  Klein  on  our  back 
pockets,   Pierre   Cardin   on   our  sleeves  and   Brooks 


Brothers  on  our  backs.  In  the  spring,  the  entire  campus 
must  surely  be  posing  for  a  T-shirt  ad,  what  with  a 
different  logo  on  every  shirt. 

And  never  let  it  be  said  that  we,  here  at  OU  are  not 
good  sports,  for  though  we  may  not  always  win,  we 
always  look  as  though  we  should.  We  wear  baggy  grey 


42 


sweats,  green  and  white  shorts,  and  the  sneakers  Mom 
got  us  j  ust  before  sending  us  off  to  school.  If  you  look  real 
hard,  you  might  just  see  someone  in  a  letterman's  jacket. 
For  the  most  part,  we  don't  have  a  certain  look.  OU 
is  too  diversified  to  adopt,  let  alone  maintain,  any  one 
style  of  dress,  any  behavior  or  any  attitude  for  long. 


Here    in    Athens,    we    tend    to   wear   what    is 
comfortable,  what  is  casual  and  whatever  happens  to  be   $ 
left  in  the  bottom  of  the  drawer  the  day  before  we  do  our  | 
laundry.  Because,  for  the  most  part,  that's  what  fashion  1 
is  at  Ohio  University.

College  students  are  an  active  breed.  Despite  17 
hours  of  classes,  all  the  studying  that  accompanies  that, 
and  a  social  life,  students  here  find  time  to  hit  the  streets. 

Literally.  The  university  has  a  two  and  a  half  mile 
jogging  track  along  the  banks  of  the  Hocking  River  and 
joggers  are  seldom  chased  off  the  track  in  Pendan 
Stadium,  but  most  running  enthusiasts  prefer  to  run  in 
the  streets.  In  the  fall  and  spring  runners  plod  along 
Stewart  and  North  McKinley  streets  for  the  scenic  East 
or  South  Green  routes,  or  head  for  a  refreshing  romp  in 
the  hills  via  Route  56,  toward  Lake  Hope,  Route  20, 
towards  Stroud's  Run,  or  Route  24,  towards  nowhere  in 
particular. 

When  students  want  the  thrill  of  competition,  they 


head  for  Grover  Center.  And  they  head  early  too,  that  is 
if  they  expect  to  get  a  court.  Grover's  six  basketball 
courts,  six  handball  courts,  two  weight  rooms  and  two 
gymnasiums  are  in  constant  demand.  The  competition  to 
get  a  court  is  sometimes  just  as  demanding  as  competition 
on  the  court. 

"There's  just  not  enough,"said  Andy  Golfield,  an 
avid  racquetball  player.  "There's  just  six  courts  for  the 
students  plus  25,000  townspeople.  It's  become  a  very 
popular  sport,  and  a  lot  of  townspeople  play,  too." 

Fortunately,  intramurals  help  organize  court  usage 
for  those  persons  who  are  serious  players.  During  the 
winter  when  indoor  sports  become  most  popular, 
intramural    racquetball,    handball,    basketball    and 


45 


ftetive 


broomball  swing  into  full  gear. 

Broomball,  a  non-skaters'  hockey,  takes  place  in 
aging  Bird  Arena.  When  Bird  is  not  being  used  by  the 
hockey  team,  for  intramurals  or  for  classes,  it  brings  in 
a  host  of  pleasure  skaters  during  late  fall  and  winter. 

If  Bird  Arena  is  aging,  the  natatorium  is  close  to 
death.  Built  in  1949,  the  25-yard  swimming  pool  houses 
both  swimming  and  diving  teams,  college  and  university 
classes  and  open  swimming  by  staying  open  18  hours  a 
day.  None-the-less  dozens  of  die-hard  swimmers  brave 
cramped  and  inadequate  locker  rooms  and  a  crowded 
pool  to  get  in  a  few  laps  every  day.  In  the  fall,  intramural 
water-polo  also  is  held  in  the  pool.

on  the  West  Green  and  the  recreation  fields  behind  the 
South  Green  and  McCraken  Hall  come  alive  with 
football,  soccer,  Softball,  baseball,  frisbee  and  the 
numerous  other  outdoor  sports. 

Basketball  lovers  find  time  and  space  to  play  year 
round.  Outdoor  courts  by  the  South  Green  and  behind 
McCraken  Hall  are  in  constant  demand  when  the 
weather  is  warm  and  the  six  courts  in  Grover  Center  are 
in  constant  use  regardless  of  the  weather.  The  pick-up 
games  at  Grover  Center  are  legendary,  and  legend  has 
it  that  some  of  the  finest  players  in  the  Mid-American 
Conference  participate  here  and  not  at  the  Convo. 

Sixteen  tennis  courts  behind  Grover  Center  are 
usually  packed  when  there's  no  snow  on  them.  More 


tennis  courts  are  located  behind  the  art  building,  and 
although  tennis  enthusiasts  complain  that  they  are  in 
terrible  shape,  they  still  use  them  continuously. 

For  those  students  that  have  an  addiction  to  less 
physical  sports,  the  Baker  Center  Game  Room  is  a  haven. 
In  fact,  400-500  students  engage  in  several  activities  at 
Baker  on  a  typical  weekday,  and  this  number  soars 
toward  650  on  weekends,  according  to  Glen  Hashman, 
manager  of  operations. 

Thirteen  pool  tables  take  much  of  this  load,  but 
bowling  is  another  sport  at  Baker  Center  that  can  cure 
anyone's  studying  blues.  Unfortunately,  physical 
education  classes,  team  practicing  and  intramurals 
occupy  the  eight  lanes  most  of  the  day.  This  leaves  6  p.m.

In  addition  to  billiards  and  bowling,  the  game  room 
offers  foosball  and  air  hockey.  But  fanatics  of  the  games 
may  get  frustrated  as  only  one  table  of  each  game  is 
available. 

Pool  and  ping-pong  tables  can  also  be  found  in  the 
basements  of  many  dorms  for  study  breaks  and 
relaxation. 

Regardless  of  what  he  likes  to  do,  a  student  at  Ohio 
University  can  usually  find  a  place  to  do  it,  if  he  can  find 
the  time.

The  man  who  upstaged  the  band 


Coming  from  an  assistant 
coaching  job  at  the  University  of 
Virginia,  first-year  head  coach  Brian 
Burke  guided  the  football  team  to  a 
6-5  record,  the  Bobcats  first  winning 
season  in  three  years.  For  Burke, 
this  was  his  first  job  as  head  coach 
of  a  college  football  team. 

Burke's  first  team  of  the  season 
was  a  tough  one,  against  Big-Ten 
foe  Minnesota.  Though  the  Bobcats 
controlled    the    game    for    three 


quarters,  the  Gophers  scored  two 
quick  fourth-quarter  touchdowns  to 
win,  24-10. 

"After  the  game  I  felt  that  there 
wasn't  any  question  that  we  could 
play  with  Minnesota,"  Burke  said. 
"With  better  execution,  we  might 
have  won.  I  felt  that  we  could  play 
with  any  team  in  the  MAC." 

Despite  Burke's  optimism,  the 
team  had  its  ups  and  downs  in  the 
MAC.    The    Toledo    and    Central 


Michigan  games  were  examples  of 
downs.  Referring  back  to  the  Toledo 
game,  Burke  said,  "It  was  an 
extremely  frustrating  game  for  both 
the  coaches  and  the  players.  We  just 
didn't  play  well.  We  are  capable  of 
playing  so  well  and  didn't,  yet  we  still 
were  in  the  game." 

The  Bobcats  pleased  Burke  in 
some  games,  though.  He  felt  that 
the  offense  played  well  in  beating 
Bowling  Green  while  racking  up  48

points,  and  the  defense  performed 
well  against  Miami,  allowing  the 
Redskins  just  seven  points. 

Burke's  one  goal  is  a  Mid- 
American Conference  champion- 
ship, he  said.  But  Burke's  future  at 
Ohio  University  was  questioned 
after  the  season  when  it  was 
speculated  that  he  might  move  on  to 
another  school. 

"I'm  on  a  one  year  contract,"  he 
said  later.  "It  works  both  ways.  In   s 
this  business,  you  don't  plan  much  S 
further  than  one  year  ahead."  m

Something  new:  a  winning  season 


A  new  coach,  a  winning  season 
and  a  respectable  showing  in  the 
Mid-American  Conference  were 
new  experiences  to  many  members 
of  the  footb  team.  Under  the 
direction  of  first-year  head  coach 
Brian  Burke,  the  Bobcats  finished 
6-5  overall  and  4-4  in  the  MAC. 

The  Bobcats  faced  some  tough 
opponents  during  the  season.  The 
University  of  Minnesota  handed  the 
Bobcats  their  first  loss  in  the  season 
opener,  in  a  hard-fought  game  that 
was  closer  than  the  24-10  score 
indicated. 

After  several  years,  the  Bobcats 

Chip  Gamerlsfelder 


finally  had  their  revenge  in  Oxford, 
as  19,674  looked  on.  In  a  defensive 
battle,  perennial  rival  Miami  was 
beaten  by  the  foot  of  kicker  Steve 
Green,  who  kicked  three  field  goals 
in  the  9-7  win. 

Burke  expressed  his  views  on 
how  well  the  offensive  and  defensive 
units  performed.  "I  was  pleased 
overall  with  both  sides,"  he  said.  "In 
games  nine,  ten  and  eleven, 
(Cincinnati,  Bowling  Green  and 
Northern  Illinois)  we  put  a  lot  of 
points  on  the  board.  That  pleased 
me  because  in  mi-season  we  ran 
into  the  tougher  defenses.  Towards

the  end  of  the  year  we  were  getting 
better,"  he  said.  "Defensively,  we 
were  pretty  spotty:  good  against 
Miami,  bad  against  Toledo.  Toward 
the  end  of  the  year,  against  Bowling 
Green,  we  shut  them  down.  It  was 
mainly  a  difference  in  attitude," 
Burke  said. 

One  of  the  bright  spots  for  the 
Bobcats  this  year  was  sophomore 
quarterback  Sammy  Shon.  "I  was 
very  pleased  with  his  development," 
Burke  said.  "I  look  back  to  our 
spring  game  and  Steve  Green  put 
the  only  points  on  the  board." 
Under  the  field  leadership  of  Shon, 
the  Bobcats  ended  up  third  in  the 
all -MAC  in  total  rushing. 

Green  was  another  individual 
bright  spot.  The  third  and  last 
brother  in  the  Green  family  to  kick 
for  the  Bobcats  will  be  difficult  to 
replace,  said  Burke.  "We'll  be 
recruiting  two  people  to  fill  Steve 
Green's  shoes.  He  handled  all  our 
kicking  game.  On  a  trip  it  helped  so 
we  could  bring  another  player  who 
might  be  needed  elsewhere." 

The  team  had  several  other 
outstanding  performers.  Joe  Callan 
anchored  the  seventh-best  passing 
defense  in  the  country  by  leading 
the  nation  with  nine  interceptions. 
Running  back  Tony  Carifa  led  the 
team  in  rushing  with  700  yards  and 
receptions  with  45.  Kevin  Babcock 
was  close  behind  with  687  yards 
rushing,  despite  playing  three

unit  with  77  tackles. 

Five  players  made  first-team 
all-MAC:  Babcock,  Callan,  Mark 
Geisler.  Green  and  Steve  Groves. 
Geisler,  a  tight  end,  was  also 
awarded  the  NCAA  post-graduate 
academic  scholarship  in  academics 
and  athletic  eligibility.  Brian  Burke 
gave  what  he  felt  was  the  biggest 
honor  for  the  team:  "We  finished 
fourth  and  we  were  picked  eighth."

^fa/The  race  for  varsity  status 


As  the  year  began  drawing  to  a 
close,  at  least  four  club  sports  at 
Ohio  University  still  held  hope  for 
becoming  the  12th  men's  varsity 
sport.  In  order  for  Ohio  University  to 
reiain  its  NCAA  division  1-A  status. 
Athletic  Director  Harold  McElhaney 
has  to  pick  a  12th  varsity  sport  by 
June  1,  1980.  By  the  spring,  four 
sports  were  still  in  the  running: 
volleyball,  rifle  team,  lacrosse  and 
hockey. 

It  seems  odd  that  the  immense- 
ly popular  hockey  team  would  be  in 
competition  with,  say,  a  virtually 
unknown  team  like  rifle,  but  accord- 
ing to  McElhaney.  popularity  is  only 
a  small  aspect  of  the  consideration. 
Cost,  availability  of  nearby  competi- 
tion, a  coach  and  a  facility  and 
student  interest  all  play  roles  in  his 
decision. 

It  appeared  that  rifle  team  had 
the  inside  track.  The  major  stum- 
bling block  for  the  rifle  team  was 
overcome  when  it  was  learned  that 


the  NCAA  would  sanction  the  sport. 
"We've  already  got  a  rifle  range  and 
a  coach  available,"  McElhaney  said. 
"And  there  are  a  lot  of  schools  with 
a  rifle  program." 

Hockey  proved  to  be  both 
successful  and  popular  again  during 
the  1980  season,  but  it  is  an 
expensive  program,  and  after  the 
resignation  of  John  Menzies  in 
March,  the  team  is  without  a  coach. 
A  major  brawl  that  broke  out  in  a 
game  with  Cincinnati  also  hurt  the 
team's  chances. 

"It  didn't  help  any,"  McElhaney 
said  of  the  brawl.  "I  don't  mean  that 
to  be  the  kiss  of  death.  But  if  hockey 
became  our  12th  sport,  an  incident 
like  that  could  be  the  death  of  the 
team." 

Volleyball  and  lacrosse  have 
also  maintained  successful  pro- 
grams during  recent  years.  While  at 
Allegheny  College  in  Pennsylvania, 
McElhaney  was  instrumental  in 
bringing    varsity    status    to    the 


lacrosse  team  there.  But  he  insists 
that  this  will  not  affect  his  decision 
here.  Both  lacrosse  and  volleyball 
already  have  facilities  and  all  the 
equipment  they  need. 

A  number  of  other  club  sports 
had  early  hopes  of  attaining  varsity 
status,  but  one-by-one  they 
dropped  out.  Water  polo,  gymnas- 
tics, judo,  bowling  and  fencing  were 
all  mentioned  early,  but  were 
eliminated. 

Boxing  and  rugby,  two  other 
popular  sports  at  Ohio  University, 
were  never  considered  because 
neither  sport  is  sanctioned  by  the 
NCAA. 

"I  think  boxing  is  a  good  sport 
and  I  would  like  to  see  it  sanction- 
ed," McElhaney  said.  "But  right  now 
it's  out  of  the  question ." 

Boxing  has  been  out  of  the 
running  from  the  beginning,  and 
soon  three  more  sports  will  be,  also. 


The  lacrosse  team  hat  come  a  long  way  recently,  but  la  thia  enough? 


58 


Hockey's  violent  nature  both  added  to  its  popularity  and  hurt  its  chances  to  become  varsity. 

*  MKM 


Lacrosse  is  also  violent  —  when  compared  to  rifle  or  volleyball  —but  doesn't  pull  as  many  punches  as  hockey.

Smiles 

brightens 

season 


In  the  past  OU  has  had  anything 
but  a  winning  soccer  team.  As  1979 
rolled  around,  it  looked  as  if  the 
soccer  team  would  repeat  history 
and  continue  the  tradition  of  losing. 

On  September  27,  after  respec- 
tive 4-0  and  2-1  losses  to  Evansville 
and  Denison,  Coach  Earl  Draper 
was  fired.  He  ignored  Athletic 
Director  Harold  McElhaney's  order 
to  establish  tighter  control  of  his 
team,  which  was  notorious  for, 
among  other  things,  leaving  beer 
cans  and  cigarette  butts  on  the 
team  bus.  After  a  tripped  emer- 
gency hatch  was  blown  open, 
Draper  received  the  ultimatum  to 
resign  or  be  fired.  He  chose  not  to 
resign. 

According  to  Jay  Mariotti, 
former  Post  sports  editor.  Draper 
had  the  reputation  of  being  the  most 
controversial  coach  at  OU. 

Assistant  coach  Andy  Smiles 
took  over  and  smiles  are  what  he 
brought  to  both  soccer  fans  and 
players.  Dedicated  to  winning. 
Smiles  helped  to  transform  the 
losing  soccer  players  into  champs. 
Overcoming  their  original  setbacks, 
a  winning  record  became  a  reality. 
The  highlights  included  a  3-2  upset 
of  Ohio  State  and  a  2-0  victory  over 
Miami. 

Key  players  for  the  season  were  I 
leading  scorer  Reda  Babaria  and  j 
freshman  Deighton  Charlemagne.     :

Injuries 

bring 

Bobcats 

down 

"We  never  could  work  with  one 
strong  lineup,"  said  Gwen  Hoover, 
second-year  women's  volleyball 
coach,  referring  to  the  numerous 
injuries  that  hampered  the  11-23 
Bobcats  all  season.  Injuries  indeed 
proved  to  be  the  main  contributing 
factor  to  the  squad's  below  .500 
performance,  most  notably  with  the 
early  loss  of  co-captain  Barb 
Haefner  to  an  ankle  injury. 

Setters  Sue  Roth  and  co- 
captain  Judy  Mahan  were  two  of  the 
most  consistent  players  on  the 
team,  according  to  Hoover.  They 
picked  up  some  of  the  slack  after 
Haefner's  injury  and  provided 
leadership. 

Hoover  noted  that  the  team's 
best  wins  were  against  Ashland 
College  (15-10,  15-12)  and  Marshall 
University  (15-6,  15-9).  This  trian- 
gular match  was  one  of  only  four 
matches  played  at  home  this  year 
with  the  11  remaining  matches  on 
the  road. 

Perhaps  the  highest  point  of  an 
otherwise  dismal  season  was  the 
development  of  freshmen  Donna 
Knutson  and  Mary  Rine.  The  duo 
became  starters  toward  the  sea- 
son's end  and  has  Hoover  looking  ; 
forward  to  the  future.  "They'll  play  a  5 
very  important  part  next  season,"  * 
she  concluded.  »

Underdogs  capture  state  crowri\fe 


Trust  in  other  teammates 
helped  OU  Women's  Field  Hockey 
team  capture  the  state  champion- 
ship in  November  for  the  1979 
season. 

"People  trusted  other  people," 
said  Coach  Kim  Brown.  "We  could 
do  more  offensively  as  the  season 
progressed." 

In  regular  season  play,  the  team 
was  3-7-3,  with  wins  over  Ball  State 
University,  Muskingum  and  Ohio 
Wesleyan.  Having  the  worst  record 
of  any  team  entered  in  the  state 
competition,  OU  went  on  to  defeat 
Bowling   Green,   top-seeded   Ohio 


State  University  and  Miami  Univer- 
sity, with  a  2-1  victory,  to  win  its  first 
state  championship. 

"Things  finally  worked  when 
they  should,"  Brown  said  "Each 
person  on  the  team  contributed  to 
the  success." 

The  field  hockey  team  lost, 
however,  in  regional  competition 
with  defeats  to  Purdue  and  South- 
ern Illinois  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  Mi- 
chigan. 

"We  should  have  had  a  better 
season,"  said  Brown.  "We  had 
possession  of  the  field.  We  should 


have  won  those  other  season 
games." 

Two  players  who  helped  the 
team  succeed  were  Joan  Weber  and 
Captain  Rhonda  Rowlins.  Brown 
called  Weber  the  best  goalkeeper  in 
the  state. 

Rawlins,  former  Bermuda  re- 
presentative to  the  world  field 
hockey  championship,  played  in 
international  competition.  "She 
could  handle  stress.  It's  nice  to  have 
a  member  who  has  had  experience 
with  stress,"  said  Brown. 


Mary  Hinders  and  the  other  Bobcats  went  into  the  state  tournament  as  decisive  underdogs,  but  won  anyway.

A 


Co-ed  again 


This  is  the  first  year  OU  has  had 
male  cheerleaders  that  are  "this 
good"  according  to  Mark  Gable, 
one  of  six  on  the  squad.  They  and 
their  female  counterparts  root  for 
the  Bobcats  during  football  and 
basketball  seasons. 

The  cheerleaders'  job  is  to 
psyche  up  the  crowd  and  the 
players.  An  all-girl  squad  is  some- 
what limited  in  what  it  can  do  — 


having  men  adds  more  variety  to  the 
show. 

"The  guys  are  the  ones  who  do 
most  of  the  gymnastics,  lifting  and 
messing  around  in  front  of  the 
crowd,"  said  Gable.  "Face  it,  guys 
are  big  hams  when  given  the 
chance." 

The  sports  administration, 
which  sponsors  the  cheerleaders, 
wanted  to  get  men  on  the  squad  to 


bring  in  more  of  a  crowd  and 
therefore  more  money,  plus  add 
more  spirit  to  team  sports. 

The  men  get  teased  for  being 
cheerleaders,  but  most  people  in 
the  stands  like  them  and  admire 
their  stunts. 

"I  went  out  as  a  joke, "explained 
Gable.  "But  then  I  saw  how  much 
work  it  really  was;  it  wasn't  much  of 
a  joke  then." 


Mike  Meyers  is  one  of  the  men  who  was  added  to  the  cheerleaders  this 
year.

Youth  bring  hope 


Cross  country  has  come  a  long  way  . 


It  was  a  young  cross  country 
team  that  upset  Ohio  State  and  ran 
off  to  a  50-26  season. 

The  team,  led  by  a  former  high 
school  ail-American  freshman  Paul 
Knott,  hustled  to  its  best  finish  in  the 
Mid-American  Conference  since 
1971,  sixth  place.  Knott  ran  a  solid 
20th  in  that  meet. 

The  highlight  of  the  season, 
though,  came  September  29  when 
the  Bobcats  beat  the  Buckeyes 
21-39  in  a  dual  meet.  It  was  the  first 
time  ever,  according  to  Coach  Larry 
Clinton,  that  OU  had  beaten  Ohio 
State. 

The   team   also   featured   two 


other  freshman,  Jeff  Blind  and  Mark^ 
Mutter;    two    sophomores,    Bill 
Tomoff  and  Wes  Hudson,  as  well  as 
junior    Steve   Zronek    and    senior 
Gerry  Pence. 

"We're  headed  in  the  right 
direction,"  said  Clinton.  "Next  year 
we'll  have  the  strongest  nucleus  I've 
ever  had.  We'll  look  extremely 
strong,  with  a  possibility  of  challeng- 
ing for  the  MAC  championship." 

Though  not  a  challenger,  the 
1979  team  was  still  strong.  In  the 
Ohio  Intercollegiate  Championship, 
the  Bobcats  finished  an  impressive 
eighth  out  of  36  schools,  and  were 
paced  by  Hutter's  20th  place  finish.

Ruggers 
fall  to 
2  -  6 


The  fall  season  was  the  rugby 
team's  worst  showing  since  their 
arrival  at  Ohio  University  in  1972. 
"Our  1979  season  could  be  labeled 
what  coaches  refer  to  as  a  rebuild- 
ing season,"  said  Rugby  Club 
adviser  Peter  Griffiths.  The  club 
finished  the  season  with  a  2-6 
record,  far  short  of  spring  season 
when  the  team  claimed  the  MAC 
crown. 

Only  four  lettermen  returned  to 
lead  the  team  and  of  eight 
scheduled  games,  only  one  was 
played  on  OU  turf. 

The  major  setback  involved  a 
ruling  from  a  new  club-sport 
committee  set  up  this  fall.  The 
committee  ruled  that  in  order  for  a 
player  to  compete,  he  must  carry  at 
least  seven  hours  per  quarter. 

Even  without  an  impressive 
overall  record,  the  fall  season  had 
its  highlights.  The  first  win  was  over 
Wright  State  and  the  second  victory 
came  after  an  impressive  bout  with 
a  highly-touted  Cleveland  West  Side 
Club. 

Individual  standouts  on  the  club 
were  co-captains  Scott  Kleman  and 
Brian  Bradford.  Kleman  was  cited 
for  his  experienced  play  in  the 
trenches,  in  the  tight-head  prop 
position,  comparable  to  an  offen- 
sive guard  in  football. 

The  club's  roster  boasts  40-50 
players.  Optimism  is  high  as  the  club  | 
swings  into  the  1980  spring  season,  ™ 
featuring  six  home  games.  S

jSxA  dog  of  a  year 


Everyone  predicted  a  dismal 
season  for  the  young,  inexperienced 
Bobcats,  but  few  were  pessimistic 
enough  to  forecast  a  first-ever 
last-place  finish  in  the  Mid- 
American Conference  and  an  8-18 
record. 

But  it  turned  out  to  be  a  s^ason 
that  started  wrong,  with  four  players 
leaving  the  team  for  various  reasons 
before  the  half-way  point.  The  team 
staggered  to  a  3-13  record  before 
head-coach  Dale  Bandy,  under 
pressure  from  the  media  and  much 
of  the  student  population,  an- 
nounced his  resignation,  effective 
after  the  season. 

At  this  point,  the  'Cats  woke  up 
and  won  half  of  their  remaining  10 
games,  salvaging  their  12th  con- 
secutive winning  record  (7-6)  in  the 
Convocation  Center.  Led  by  so- 
phomore guard  Kirk  Lehman,  who 
averaged  nearly  20  points  a  game  in 
closing  weeks  and  17.6  for  the 
season,  the  team  pulled  off  one- 
point  victories  over  Ball  State, 
Central  Michigan  and  Eastern 
Michigan,  and  beat  Kent  State  by  10 
and  Western  Michigan  by  six  in  the 
stretch  drive. 

But  it  was  not  enough  as  the 
team  still  finished  5-11  in  confer- 
ence play  and  did  not  qualify  for  the 
conference  championship  tour- 
nament. The  first  half  of  the  season 
was  brutal  to  the  Bobcats.  Their 
losses  included  a  50-83  scorching  at 
the  hands  of  Central  Michigan,  and 
a  50-72  drubbing  at  home  to 
Bowling  Green,  the  Cat's  worst  loss 
ever  in  the  Convo. 

Lehman  and  his  back-court 
partner,  Spindle  Graves,  led  the 
Bobcats  in  virtually  all  offensive 
categories,  displaying  the  team's 
lack  of  depth.  The  6'1"  Graves  led 
the  team  in  rebounding,  despite  a 
5.3  average,  assists  and  steals,  and 
was  second  on  the  squad  in  scoring 
with  a  12.1  average.  Lehman  also 
led  the  team  in  field  goals,  free- 
throw  percentage  and  minutes 
played.  Junior  John  Patterson,  who 
was  platooned  at  center  with  senior 
Doug  Graves,  led  the  team  in 
field-goal  percentage  and  blocked 
shots,  but  finished  tied  with  Doug 
Graves  for  fifth  on  the  team  in 
rebounding,  at  just  2.8  per  game. 

Ironically,  the  team's  defense 
was  greatly  improved  over  that  of 
the  1978-79  team,  and  allowed  just 
73.3  points  per  game.  Spindle 
Graves  was  the  cornerstone  of  this 


defense,  but  aggressive  play  by 
forwards  Jim  Zalenka  and  Bill 
Littlefield,  and  guard  Tim  Woodson 
also  helped  slow  the  pace.  Un- 
fortunately, even  at  a  slow  pace,  the 
Bobcats  could  not  keep  up.  They 
were  held  to  under  60  points  five 
times. 

Before  the  season,  Bandy  said 
"Our  strength  lies  in  team  depth  and 
not    individual    stars.    There's    no 


doubt  in  my  mind  that  we  will  be  a 
physically  stronger  team  and  be 
quicker  defensively,  but  we  will  be 
inexperienced."  Because  of  the 
inexperience,  and  because  the 
team's  depth  did  not  show  through, 
causing  Lehman  and  Spindle 
Graves  to  take  the  role  of  stars,  the 
Bobcats  suffered  through  their 
worst  season  since  1948-49,  and 
their  worst  MAC  finish  ever.

Delusions  of  grandeur 


Ohio  University  vs.  Ohio  State: 
the  names  would  suggest  a  rivalry 
despite  the  fact  that  they  play  in 
different  conferences. 

But,  it  didn't  take  long  to 
pinpoint  the  difference  between  the 
MAC  and  the  Big  Ten.  A  27-point 
score  (78-51)  was  the  big  difference 
when  the  Bobcats  took  on  the 
number  three  ranked  team  in  the 
nation,   December    1,    1979   at   St. 


John  Arena  in  Columbus,  home  of 
the  Ohio  State  Buckeyes. 

As  over  13,000  spectators 
watched  the  official  season  opener, 
OU  fans  were  given  some  hope  in 
the  first  half  as  the  Bobcats  rallied  to 
tie  the  score  at  25  and  were  only  two 
points  down  at  the  half. 

It  had  taken  six  and  a  half 
minutes  for  Jim  Zalenka  to  score  the 
first  of  his  15  team-high  points  for 


the  Bobcats. 

But  the  second  half  was  a 
different  story.  Led  by  Clark 
Kellogg,  Herbie  Williams,  and  Kelvin 
Ramsey,  the  Buckeyes  began  rolling 
away  from  the  Bobcats  never 
allowing  OU  to  catch  up  again. 

Coach  Bandy  of  the  Bobcats 
said  that  the  fulfillment  of  potential 
was  the  key  to  the  game's  success.

tK/ Fights  of  the  champions 


The  boxing  team  came  out  a 
winner  in  the  Fights  of  the  Cham- 
pions held  at  the  Convocation 
Center  February  24,  but  somehow 
Coach  Maung  Gyi  couldn't  have 
been  completely  happy. 

Sure,  OU  boxers  decidedly  beat 
the  top-ranked  squad  in  the 
country,  West  Chester  State,  by 
winning  six  of  eight  bouts.  And  yes, 
OU  took  one  of  two  decisions  in  the 
feature  fights  with  Air  Force 
Academy  pugalists.  But  the  main 
attraction,    a    fight    featuring    the 


team's  most  popular  boxer,  L.B. 
Towns,  was  cancelled  three  days 
before  the  tournament.  Attendance 
at  the  fights  then  fell  short  of 
expectations,  with  a  crowd  of  little 
over  2,000,  and  the  team  did  not 
raise  enough  money  to  send  all  the 
boxers  to  the  national  champion- 
ships, to  be  held  in  Colorado 
Springs. 

Yet,  those  fans  that  came  saw 
plenty  of  action.  OU's  John  Beckwell 
lost  a  split  decision  to  open  things 
up,    but    Leon    Butler   scored    an 


impressive  decision  over  West 
Chester  State's  Dave  Graham  to 
turn  the  tide.  Veteran  Tony  Lake 
battled  back  in  the  third  round  of  his 
fight  to  defeat  a  heavier  John  Pendel 
of  West  Chester  State,  and  the  Ohio 
romp  was  on. 

OU  had  come  into  the  tour- 
nament ranked  fourth  nationally  by 
the  National  Collegiate  Boxing 
Association,  despite  beginning  the 
year  with  just  two  returning  boxers, 
Lake  and  Towns.

During  the  summer,  Maung  Gyi  turned  down  several  offers  to  coach  boxing  at  other  schools  and  soccer  at  Ohio  University,  and  returned  as 
the  wizard  of  O.U.  boxing.

"With  just  one  girl  graduating, 
we  had  high  hopes  for  a  much  better 
season.''  said  Coach  Gwen  Hoover 
about  the  1979-80  women's  basket- 
ball season.  With  seven  returning 
letter  winners,  the  coach  had  reason 
to  believe  that  this  season  would  be 
a  good  one.  But,  at  the  end  of  the 
year,  their  record  was  9-11. 

Inconsistency  and  poor  mental 
attitude  were  the  weaknesses  of  the 
team,  according  to  Hoover.  "The 
girls  would  make  a  mistake  and 
dwell  on  it  instead  of  wiping  it  out  of 
their  minds  and  going  on  with  the 
game,"  said  Hoover. 

A  larger  and  tougher  varsity 
schedule  may  also  have  contributed 
to  their  losing  season.  One  of  the 
most  challenging  games  was 
against  University  of  Dayton,  ranked 
number  one  in  the  state.  Dayton 
defeated  OU  by  21  points.  OU's 
biggest  win  was  against  Ashland 
when  they  won  103-57. 

Leading  scorer's  were  senior 
co-captain  Diane  Biber  with  9.9 
points  per  game  and  junior  Judy 
Uher  with  8.8  points  per  game.  Uher 
was  one  of  the  most  valuable 
players  on  the  team  according  to 
Hoover.  "She  has  a  good  mental 
attitude,  a  never  quitting  one," 
Hoover  said.

division 


The  men's  volleyball  club 
topped  off  a  successful  season  by 
competing  in  the  Mid-American 
Conference  and  Midwest  Intercol- 
legiate Volleyball  Association 
(MIVA)  Tournaments. 

Led  by  player-coach  Rafael 
Chirinos  and  club  president  Michael 
Holden,  the  team  played  matches 
tournament  style.  This  means  that 
the  matches,  played  on  weekends, 
are  round-robin  and  then  participat- 
ing teams  are  seeded  for  regular 
tournament  play.  Holden  said  that 
all  of  this  leads  up  to  the  season's 
final  tournament,  the  MIVA. 

Although  many  individuals 
stood  out  this  year,  Holden  said, 
"Volleyball  is  a  team  sport,  not  an 
individual  sport.  You  have  to  love  it 
and  you  have  to  learn  to  divide  your 
time  between  classes  and  being 
gone  on  weekends." 

Some  of  the  consistent  players 
included  setter  Dave  Butt,  also  the 
tournament  organizer,  and  four- 
year  veteran  Tony  Tawil.  the  club's 
main  power  hitter.  Randy  Oates, 
John  Thorndyke  and  Holden  round 
out  the  15  player  squad. 

OU's  division  included  teams 
from  Ohio  Wesleyan,  Miami,  Ober- 
lin,  Kenyon  and  Marietta.

A  brawl  with  Cincinnati  caused  a  game  to  be  cancelled. 


In  a  lackluster  OU  sports 
program  the  ice  hockey  club  stood 
out  as  a  refreshing  exception.  When 
the  Midwest  College  Hockey  League 
tournament  ended  the  season  OU 
was  champion  for  the  second 
consecutive  year  after  defeating 
Denison  7-2.  It  also  had  a  fine 
regular  season  record  of  11-5-1. 
The  club  gave  OU's  frustrated  fans 
something  to  cheer  about. 

And  cheer  they  did.  OU  hockey 
commanded  a  large  following  of 
spirited,  boisterous  and  fiercely 
loyal  fans.  In  the  Cincinnati  game 
fans  threw  beer  on  the  Bird  Arena 
ice  after  a  fight  broke  out  that  the 
officials  couldn't  or  wouldn't  break 
up.  "It's  best  to  forget  about  that 
incident,''  OU  Coach  John  Menzies 
said.  "It  was  not  the  fan's  fault,  it 
was  a  result  of  poor  officiating." 

Why  is  there  such  a  large 
hockey  following?  "Hockey  is  a 
great  spectator  sport,"  Menzies 
explained.  "It's  exciting.  And 
besides,"  he  grinned,  "we're  a 
winner." 

The  club's  schedule  was  far 
from  easy.  They  played  a  Dayton 
team  that  beat  them  twice,  and 
tough  Denison  and  Purdue  teams. 
To  Menzies,  the  high  point  of  the 
season  was  the  exciting  come- 
from-behind  7-6  win  over  Purdue 
that  kept  the  fans  on  the  edge  of 
their  seats  to  the  end. 

Standout  players  this  season 
included  Kurt  Antkiewicz,  captain 
Craig  McAlister,  Darryl  Roberts, 
Greg  Craddick,  Bob  Joyce,  Rich 
Barle  and  MCHL  tournament  most 
valuable  player,  Steve  Betsko. 

With  the  team's  good  record 
and  obvious  fan  support,  many 
believe  hockey  should  become  OU's 
12th  varsity  sport.  But  Menzies  is 
not  optimistic.  "Don't  hold  your 
breath,"  he  said.  "It  probably  won't 
be." 

But   it   probably  won't  matter 
much  to   Menzies.   He  announced 
that  this  would  be  his  last  season  as 
coach.  He  compiled  a  30-15  record 
during   his  three-year   stint,   high- 
lighted by  a  16-game  winning  streak 
at  Bird  Arena.  Menzies  summed  up  § 
the  three  years  saying,  "I've  made  »j 
some  mistakes,  but  we've  accom-  % 
plished  a  lot."  o

Houska's  surprising  grapplers 


In  its  best  showing  in  three 
years,  the  OU  wrestling  team 
finished  second  in  the  Mid- 
American Conference  tournament, 
held  in  Muncie,  Indiana.  A  strong 
Kent  State  team  captured  its 
second  straight  MAC  champion- 
ship, finishing  17  points  ahead  of  the 
Bobcats,  with  71 1/2. 

Ohio  was  again  expected  to  not 
do  well,  yet  six  Bobcats  placed  in 
the  tournament.  Lorant  Ipacs,  the 
number  one  seed  at  177  lbs.,  placed 
first  in  the  MAC  by  pinning  Bob  Stag 
of  Kent  State.  Heavyweight  Greg 
Byrne  and  Bill  Potts  of  the  167  lb. 
class  both  placed  third,  while  Andy 
Slayman,  at  150,  finished  fourth. 
One  hundred  thirty-four  lb.  wrestler, 
Andy      Lokie,      lost      a      close 


match  (13-11)  to  place  second,  as 
did  Rich  Roehner,  in  the  142  lb. 
class. 

Ohio  had  a  very  trying  season 
on  its  way  to  the  MAC  champion- 
ships. For  many  dual  meets  the 
Bobcats  had  to  forfeit  several 
weight  classes  and  could  find  no 
one  to  fill  them.  This  contributed  to 
the  grapplers  losing  four  dual  meets 
by  one  point  each.  One  of  these  was 
to  17th-ranked  Michigan,  24-23. 

The  lack  of  depth  hurt  the 
Bobcats  all  season.  Coach  Harry 
Houska,  in  a  call  to  a  recruiter, 
indicated  just  how  desperate  the 
situation  was:  "Don't  tell  me  about 
juniors,  I  want  to  hear  about  seniors. 
We  need  help  immediately,"  he 
said. 


Injuries  also  subtracted  from 
their  performance;  as  many  as  four 
wrestlers  were  out  at  one  time, 
leaving  the  lower  weight  classes  all 
but  barren. 

The  Bobcats  participated  in  a 
wide  variety  of  tournaments  and 
matches  during  the  season.  They 
began  with  the  Southern  Open,  in 
which  they  finished  ahead  of  Kent 
State,  681/2-68.  The  team  took  sixth 
place  in  the  prestigious  Lock 
Haven-Matt  Town  USA  Tourna- 
ment. In  an  early  show  of  strength  at 
the  Ohio  Collegiate  Invitational  at 
Ohio  State,  the  team  placed  fourth 
out  of  18  teams,  despite  having  only 
seven  of  10  weight  classes  filled. 
This  exemplified  how  strong  Hous- 
ka's team  was,  even  without  depth.

Torn,  Broken  or  Strained: 

Down  but  not  out 


When  an  athlete  goes  down 
with  an  injury,  fans  often  think  of  it 
as  a  statistic,  a  loss,  at  best  a 
handicap  to  the  team:  Babcock  is 
out;  Zalenka  is  injured;  Hardy  is  hurt 
—  the  team  won't  be  as  strong. 

But  to  the  athlete,  an  injury 
often  means  personal  frustration, 
fear,  and  usually  a  great  deal  of 
physical  pain. 

Sophomore  tennis  player  Pa- 
trice Risaliti  developed  cinovitis,  an 
inflammation  of  the  rotator  shoulder 
cuff  during  the  summer  of  1979.  "I 
was  depressed,"  she  said.  "I  was 
afraid  I  wasn't  going  to  play  tennis. 
I  wouldn't  lift  my  arm;  I  couldn't  put 
my  hand  in  my  back  pocket.  I 
couldn't  even  run  because  of  the 
movement." 

Fortunately,  OU  has  a  strong 
therapy  and  trainer  program,  run  by 
head  trainer  Skip  Vosler,  but  is 
administrated  by  student  trainers. 
"It's  really  first  class,"  said  Mike 
Echstenkamper,  who  missed  sever- 
al baseball  games  in  the  spring  to  a 
pulled  hamstring.  "I  was  treated 
super.  They  really  spoil  you." 

Risaliti  agreed.  "The  trainers 
are  great,"  she  said.  "I  was  so  close 
to  the  trainers;  they  make  your 
program  so  smooth.  I  guess  we 
wouldn't  have  anything  if  it  weren't 
for  them." 

Vosler  gives  much  of  the  credit 
for  the  program's  success  to  the 
athletes.  "It's  very  easy  to  work  with 
athletes  because  athletes  want  to 
get  well,"  he  said.  Improved  athlete 
conditioning  has  cut  down  on  the 
severity  of  injuries,  said  Vosler,  but 
doesn't  stop  them  from  occurring. 
"You  can't  control  them,"  said  Mark 
Geisler,   who  missed   much  of  his 


freshman  and  sophomore  years  on 
the  football  team  because  of  a  groin 
pull.  "If  you  think  about  injuries  and 
try  not  to  get  them,  that's  when  you 


get  them.  The  best  way  to  prevent 
them  is  to  be  in  good  physical 
shape,  but  if  you  just  happen  to  be 
hit  right  .  .  ." 


Injured  athletes  receive  conditioning,  therapy  and  treatment  from  student  trainers  like  Mary 
O'Carroll.

The  pain  of  injuries  is  often  compounded  by  fear  and  frustration  when  it's  severe  enough  to  sideline  an  athlete.

Sluggers  splash  into  second 


For  Gary  Grips  and  the  reat  ol  the  team,  an  MAC  championahip  waa  in  eight,  but  painfully  out  of  reach. 


82 


Despite  their  .500  or  worse 
finish  for  the  third  season  in  a  row, 
the  baseball  team  wound  up  second 
in  the  MAC  behind  Miami  University. 

Ohio's  record  was  20-20  overall 
and  8-4  in  conference  play. 


Priessman's    .378   average   kept   France 
smiling  through  lunch. 


Coach  Jerry  France  said  of  his 
seventh  season,  "The  biggest 
surprise  was  how  we  started  out  on 
the  spring  trip."  The  team  was  2-11 
in  early  spring  play,  against  such 
powerful  teams  as  North  Carolina, 
Duke  and  Wake  Forest,  which  went 
to  the  NCAA  playoffs. 

"The  other  surprise,"  conti- 
nued France,  "was  all  the  rain.  It 
hurt  our  third  and  fourth  starting 
pitchers,  who  were  never  really  in 
the  groove." 

The  team  was  rained  out  of  so 
many  games  in  league  play,  that 
there  was  some  doubt  as  to  whether 
it  would  be  able  to  play  enough 
games  to  win  the  MAC. 

But  the  season  was  full  of 
exciting,  close  games.  In  fact,  the 
extra-inning,  4-1  loss  to  Bowling 
Green  constituted  the  largest  losing 
margin  of  the  season.  Many  of  the 
games  lost  down  south  on  the 
spring  trip  were  by  one  run. 


"It  was  an  exciting  year,  very 
close,"  reflected  France.  "So  many 
close  games  hurt  us." 

Individually,  pitcher  John  Bur- 
den wound  up  with  a  8-1  record, 
while  Larry  Nicholson  had  a  7-4 
season.  Mike  Echstenkamper  led 
the  hitters,  batting  .424,  and  Kevin 
Priessman  had  a  .378  year. 

"Our  speed  was  really  good," 
France  said.  Shortstop  Lyle  Govert 
set  an  O.U.  stolen  base  record  with 
39;  Dave  Spriggs  and  Echstenkam- 
per also  had  good  years. 

The  team  had  four  players 
drafted  by  the  pros.  Echstenkam- 
per, a  center  fielder  who  was  on  the 
Coaches'  All-American  second 
team,  signed  with  the  New  York 
Yankees.  Third  baseman  Scott 
Kuvinka,  a  Sporting  News  All- 
American,  signed  with  the  Pittsburg 
Pirates,  as  did  Burden  and  Nicho- 
lson. 


Cheering  in  rare  good  weather  are  Doug  Stackhouse,  Si  Johnson,  Jeff  England,  Brian  Kerns,  Glenn  Pawloaki  and  Tom  Vitale.

It  proved  to  be  an  exciting  yet 
controversial  season  for  the  Golf 
team.  Led  by  steady  sophomore  Jeff 
Mawhorr,  who  averaged  76  strokes 
a  game,  and  senior  Jeff  Johnson, 
the  Bobcats  squeezed  past  Ball 
State  to  capture  their  17th  Mid- 
American Conference  Champion- 
ship. 

However,  in  an  unprecedented 
move,  the  District  IV  Collegiate  Golf 
Selection  Committee  opted  to 
exclude  the  MAC  championship 
squad  from  the  NCAA  tournament. 

Junior  Lowell  Dencer,  who 
finished  third  at  the  MAC  champion- 
ship stated  his  disappointment. 
"Speaking  for  everyone,  I  think  it 
has  dampened  our  spirits.  What 
good  does  it  do  us  now  playing  in 
the  MAC?" 

Individually,  Kermit  Blosser  was 
voted  the  1979  Mid-American 
Conference  coach  of  the  year,  and 
Mawhorr  was  darned  to  the  all- 
conference  team.

existence,  the  Ohio  University 
Ultimate  Frisbee  Team  registered  an 
impressive  record,  as  well  as, 
generating  enthusiasm  that  made 
the  club  a  success. 

The  season  started  off  on  a  sour 
note,  but  the  Bobcats  pulled 
together  to  win  several  straight.  They 
qualified  for  the  Regional  U.S. 
Championship      by      winning      the 


Northern  Ohio  Sectional  Champion- 
ship, and  finishing  with  an  17-4 
record. 

Co-captains  T.  J.  Kazamek  and 
Mike  Wittwer  pulled  the  team

Doug  Gleichauf,  who  led  the  team  in 
scoring  and  Dave  Weiss,  the  play- 
maker  and  leader  in  assists.  Kerr

The  team  consisted  mostly  of

the  regular  season.

MEN'S  TRACK 

The  men's  track  team  once 
again  boasted  several  individual 
stars  but  no  depth  as  the  team 
finished  a  disappointing  fifth  in  the 
Mid-American  Conference  last  year. 

Forty  of  the  team's  63  points 
scored  in  the  MAC  championship 
were  scored  by  two  members:  Jesse 
Young  and  Jerry  Hatfield.  Young 
won  the  200  and  400  meter  runs, 
setting  an  MAC  record  in  the  400. 
Hatfield  won  the  long  and  triple 
jumps,  setting  an  MAC  record  in  the 
triple  jump.  They  both  qualified  for 
the  NCAA  championships. 

Coach  Larry  Clinton  blamed  the 
team's  lack  of  depth  on  the  fact  that 
three  key  team  members  were  lost 
spring  quarter  due  to  academic 
ineligibility.

Women's  track 
caught  short  in 
third  varsity  season. 


Shot-putter  Linda  Bench  lets  it  fly. 


The  women's  track  team  had 
m  trouble  getting  people  out  for  the 
I  team,  and  as  a  result,  struggled 
3  through  the  season  with  only  11 
sj   members. 

>  "It   was   a   good    season    for 

g  individuals,"  said  Cheryl  Brown, 
I  however,  who  specialized  in  long 
g  distance  running  events.  "For  as 
|  many  people  as  we  had  on  the  team, 
1   we  did  a  decent  job." 

Indeed,  individuals  broke  17  of 
the  school  records  in  1979,  though 


it  was  only  the  team's  third  year  of 
existence. 

The  team  was  led  by  three-year 
veteran  Karen  Bleigh,  who 
specialized  in  the  pentathlon  but 
also  competed  in  a  number  of  other 
events,  including  relays. 

Brown  felt  this  was  one  of  the 
teams  key  weaknesses.  "The  small 
team  made  us  double  up  a  lot,"  she 
said.  "If  people  were  in  less  events.  I 
they  could   have  concentrated  on  t 
one  event."  £

"I  thought  we'd  have  a  better

The  women's  tennis  team 
ended  their  1979  season  with  an 
impressive  11-2  record,  finishing 
3rd  in  the  state. 

The  greatest  strength  of  the 
squad  was  consistency  in  a  singles 
play.  Junior  Karen  Cook  from 
Columbus  played  in  the  number  one 
position,  compiling  an  11-2  record. 

Senior  Lynn  Bozentka,  the 
second  singles  player,  ended  the

Becoming  first  class 


Women's  athletics  at  Ohio 
University  have  come  a  long  way 
since  1973  when  Catherine  Brown 
was  head  coach  for  nine  different 
varsity  sports. 

Today,  OU  has  a  head  coach  for 
almost  every  sport,  plus  some  have 
assistants.  Scholarships  are  now 
commonplace  in  the  field  of 
women's  athletics,  and  Ohio  Univer- 
sity has  increased  its  distribution  of 
instate  scholarships.  The  athletic 
budget  for  women  has  also  been 
increased  over  the  years,  hitting  its 
peak  in  1979-80. 

Many  women's  sports  at  OU 
receive  equal  or  better  treatment 
than  some  men's  sports  on  campus. 
The  men's  soccer  field  must  be 
relocated  to  make  room  for  new 
fields  for  the  women's  field  hockey, 
lacrosse,  and  softball  fields.  The 
intramural  football  and  soccer  fields 
will  be  moved  to  make  room  for  the 
women's  facilities. 

The  fact  still  remains  that  Ohio 
University  is  not  in  compliance  with 
Title  IX,  equal  funding.  Title  IX  set  its 
deadline  for  compliance  in  1978,  but 
many  colleges  and  universities, 
including  OU.  have  not  yet  met  its 
requirements.  Those  requirements 
include  equal  funding  for  men's  and 
women's  sports,  which  should  be 
distributed  through  the  programs  in 
ways  beneficial  to  them. 

But  because  OU  is  not  in 
compliance  with  Title  IX  requir- 
ements, many  disadvantages  have 
hovered  over  the  women.  Even 
though  assistant  coaches  are  now  a 
part  of  women's  athletics  at  Ohio, 
not  one  of  them  receives  a  paycheck 
for  his  or  her  time  spent  helping  the 
team. 

The  women's  budget  has  been 


increased,  but  equipment  and 
facilities  are  still  rather  poor.  Many 
female  athletes  must  share  cleated 
shoes  for  various  sports  and  some 
uniforms  are  used  for  more  than  one 
sport. 

But  the  university  maintains  it  is 
working    toward    compliance   with 


Title  IX.  It  has  formed  a  title  IX 
Committee  to  work  out  the  prob- 
lems and  grievances  associated 
with  Title  IX.  But  more  than  a  year 
after  its  inception,  the  Title  IX 
Committee  has  done  little  but  make 
a  name  for  itself.

Whether  they're  experiencing  the  agony  of  defeat  or  the  thrill 
of  victory,  women  athletes  usually  experience  it  alone  — 
without  fans.

Health  & 
Human  Services 


The  Home-economics  Department  and  its  students  made  the  jump  from  the  College  of  Education. 


The  College  of  Health  and  Human  Services 
was  born  this  fall  amidst  much  controversy  over 
whether  or  not  it  was  even  needed.  All  the  schools 
presently  in  it  already  existed  under  different 
colleges.  The  Center  for  Human  Development,  the 
School  of  Hearing  and  Speech  Sciences,  and  the 
School  of  Health.  Physical  Education  and 
Recreation  compose  the  college  now,  and  the 
School  of  Nursing  will  be  officially  added  July 
1980. 

The  dean.  Dr.  Hilda  Richards  is  the  first  black 
person  to  become  dean  of  a  college  other  than 
Afro-American  Studies  at  OU.  She  is  also  the  only 
woman  dean  here. 


The  Ohio  University  Affiliated  Center  for 
Human  Development  provides  services  to  the 
community,  does  research  and  is  a  training  ground 
for  students  in  dealing  with  people  who  have 
developmental  disabilities  or  are  mentally  or 
physically  handicapped. 

There  are  five  satellite-centers  serving  17 
Southeastern  Ohio  counties.  Coordinator  for 
Community  Relations.  Judy  Ball  said.  "It  is 
important  to  look  at  the  total  person  and  to  avoid 
fragmentation.  The  emphasis  is  that  they  are 
people  first;  people  who  happen  to  have  problems, 
and  can  function  better  than  most  feel  they  can." 

Last  year  over  250  students  experienced  more

than  a  day's  time  and  32  spent  from  300  to  500 
hours  in  the  program.  Athens  Day  Living  Center 
is  part  of  the  program  which  helps  the 
handicapped  with  constructive  activities. 

The  School  of  Hearing  and  Speech  Sciences  is 
clinically  oriented.  It  is  a  training  program  for 
people  going  into  school  or  clinical  therapy.  The 
master  and  Ph.D  programs  feature  pathology  and 
audiology  studies  outside  the  public  school. 

The  School  of  Health,  Physical  Education  and 
Recreation  has  programs  in  health  services, 
environmental  health  science  and  recreation 
studies.  The  school  operates  the  physical  education 
activity  program  which  allows  students  to  choose 


activities  ranging  from  scuba  diving  to  yoga  to 
belly  dancing.  The  school  is  also  responsible  for 
intramural  and  club  sports. 

The  School  of  Home  Economics  offers  18 
different  bachelor  degrees.  The  programs  deal 
with  basic  human  needs  and  interpersonal 
relationships.  Problems  of  human  welfare  such  as 
nutrition  and  health  are  just  two  subjects  dealt 
with  in  several  specialized  areas.  The  School  of 
Nursing  offers  bachelor  programs  for  nurses  and 
also  provides  an  educational  base  for  graduate 
study  leading  to  careers  as  clinicians,  teachers, 
administrators  or  researchers.

During  registration,  the  basketball  floor  is  covered  with  carpeting,  which  in  turn,  is  covered  with  students. 

Pre-college.  academic  advising,  closed  classes 
and  add-drop  slips.  What  do  these  have  in  common? 
They  are  all  a  part  of  the  registration  procedures 
that  take  place  at  OU. 

While  registration  for  some  may  be  a  relatively 
smooth,  orderly  procedure,  for  others  it  is  enough  to 
cause  migraine  headaches. 

Closed  classes  seem  to  be  the  primary  problem 
involved  in  registration,  and  many  underclassmen 
become  experts  in  juggling  schedules.  Academic 
advisers  assigned  to  students  attempt  to  eliminate 
proposed  schedules  for  accuracy  in  call  numbers, 
required  courses  and  credits. 

Filling  out  the  schedule  and  turning  it  in  to 
Chubb  Hall  is  a  minor  step,  for  missing  the  payment 
deadline  results  in  no  classes,  no  housing  and  no  meal 
plan. 

Consequently,  students  in  such  a  predicament 
find    themselves    having    to    register    all    over 
again  — through    lines   for   housing   in   Chubb   and 
classes    at    the    Convo.    Despite    setbacks    and  % 
repeatedly  being  told,  "I'm  sorry,  but  you're  in  the« 
wrong  line."  all  manage  to  survive  registration.        2

Alden  library  teaming  with  life  on  a  Friday 
night?  No  lines  at  the  bars  uptown?  Where  is  the 
student  population  of  Ohio  University? 

This  scene  is  familiar  on  campus  as  the 
quarters  change  from  fall  into  winter  into  spring, 
and  finals  week  descends  upon  the  student 
enrollment  at  OU. 

Everyone's  social  life  screeches  to  a  halt  in 
mid-swing  as  studying  becomes  an  integral  part  of 
students'  lives  during  the  five  days  composing 
finals  week;  from  the  inexperienced  freshmen  to 
the  time-hardened  seniors  and  graduate 
assistants. 

As  finals  week  begins  to  take  its  toll  and  24 


Hour  Quiet  Hours  become  imposed  in  many  of  the 
dorms  on  campus,  whispered  comments  including, 
"I  should  have  dropped  zoology  at  the  beginning  of 
the  quarter!".  "I'm  going  to  flunk  out."  and  "Oh, 
no  ...  " 

Extended  library  hours,  both  at  Alden  and  the 
Green  libraries,  enable  students  to  cram  in  peace 
and  quiet,  as  they  all  strive  toward  the  common 
goal  of  making  the  grade. 

Students  burn  the  midnight  oil  and  make  their 
way,  bleary  eyed  from  too  many  all-nighters, 
coffee,  and  No-Doz.  to  their  exams,  only  to  emerge 
depressed,  jubilant,  or  uncertain  from  each  two 
hour  final. 


During  the  last  week  of  the  quarter,  virtually  everyone  dedicates  themselves  to  their  books,  either  individually, 
or  in  groups,  like  Barb  Williamson,  Carol  Mix,  Lana  Gaskalla  and  Andrea  Thatcher.

Arts  &  Sciences 


The  College  of  Arts  and  Sciences  is  composed 
of  19  departments  in  Humanities,  Social  Sciences 
and  Natural  Sciences.  Assistant  Dean  of  Student 
Affairs  William  Jones  said  that  the  college  is  the 
academic  cornerstone  of  the  university  because  it 
offers  courses  that  most  students  need. 

"Taking  a  liberal  arts  program  helps  free  the 
mind  from  prejudices  and  hatred,  giving  one  a 
better  perception  of  the  world,  recognizing 
accomplishments  and  relative  strengths,  striving 
to  make  the  world  a  better  place  to  live."  he  added. 

Jones  explained  that  two-year  technical 
programs  focus  on  a  career  first,  where  the 
students  are  trained  but  remain  basically 
uneducated.  The  liberal  arts  curriculums  place  the 


first  value  on  education  and  the  second  on  a  career. 

There  are  28  programs  and  more  are  being 
developed  with  curriculums  that  gear  toward 
specialized  jobs  by  mixing  classes  together 
effectively.  Many  prepare  students  for  graduate 
study. 

Despite  all  the  criticism  of  liberal  arts 
programs,  the  college  did  a  survey  of  70  American 
businesses  and  found  that  they  still  do  hire  liberal 
arts  majors.  When  asked  if  a  liberal  arts  program 
coupled  with  a  formal  business  minor  would  be  a 
good  curriculum,  the  positive  response  was 
overwhelming.  That  program  started  in  1976  and 
has  been  very  successful. 


Arts  and  Sciences  covers  a  range  of  disciplines  varying  Irom  Chemistry  (above)  to  English  to  provide  a  liberal  education.

Students  try  out  film  strip  projector  in  the  College  of  Education's  media  center,  located  in  McCracken  Hall. 

The  College  of  Education  came  out  of  last 
year's  turmoil  with  a  new  dean,  a  new  look  and 
plans  for  revamping  much  of  the  curriculum,  but 
may  be  more  stable  than  it  has  been  in  a  long  while. 

Last  year,  controversy  stripped  the  college  of 
its  dean.  Sam  Goldman,  and  a  new  college  stripped 
it  of  the  schools  of  health,  physical  education  and 
recreation  and  home  economics,  as  well  as  $77,000 
in  funds. 

But  in  July,  Dr.  Allen  Myers  took  over  as  dean 
and  soon  announced  that  the  college  was  back  on 
pretty  solid  ground.  Under  the  Ohio  Teacher 
Redesign  Program,  however,  the  college  has 
continued  to  change. 

"I'm  especially  fortunate  to  be  here  at  a  time 
when  there's  so  much  positive  ferment  going  on 
about    developing    quality    programs    for    the 


teaching  profession."  Myers  said  in  an  interview 
last  fall. 

The  new  programs  include  an  Educational 
Media  Program  and  a  Guidance  and  Counseling 
Program.  Plans  are  underway  for  a  program  for 
the  talented  and  gifted,  and  an  expansion  of  the 
Multicultural  and  Bilingual  Education  Program. 
In  addition,  the  Department  of  Economic 
Education  has  been  moved  from  the  College  of 
Business  Administration  to  the  College  of 
Education. 

Other   possible   developments   include  estab- 
lishing a  Career  and  Life  Planning  Center  and  2 
re-establishing   the   old    Center    for    Educational  | 
Research   and  Service,  which  was  eliminated   in  3 
1974.  S

Osteopathic  Medicine 


Barb  Girz  is  one  of  148  students  of  Osteopathic  Medicine  at  Ohio  University. 


The  rapidly-growing  College  of  Osteopathic 
Medicine,  bloomed  in  the  spring  as  it  graduated  21 
doctors  of  Osteopathic  Medicine,  the  first  in  Ohio 
history. 

These  doctors  will  serve  one-year  internships 
in  various  osteopathic  and  military  hospitals 
before  opening  up  their  own  practices  as  family 
physicians. 

"The  college  was  created  by  the  Ohio  General 
Assembly  in  1975  to  educate  family  physicians  to 
work  in  medically  underserved  parts  of  the  state." 
said  the  college's  dean.  Frank  Myers.  D.O.  "It  is 
our  mission  to  train  osteopathic  physicians  who 
will  choose  to  become  and  remain  specialists  in 
family  practice  in  those  areas  without  adequate 
numbers  or  physicians." 

In  order  to  prepare  students  for  practicing  in 
rural  areas,  the  school  plans  to  open  as  many  as  4 
health-care  clinics  in  rural  parts  of  southeastern 
Ohio.  One  such  clinic  was  opened  in  Nelsonville  in 
September,  and  the  two  physicians  saw  nearly  400 
patients  in  the  first  two  months,  with  students 
providing    back-up    work.    Another    clinic    was 


scheduled  to  open  in  Coolville  in  late  spring. 

Meanwhile,  the  college  received  $175,000  for 
the  year  to  conduct  research  in  geriatrics  and  to 
integrate  the  problems  of  aging  into  its 
curriculum.  The  college  also  obtained  an  $85,000 
"ultra  sound  machine"  which  uses  sound  instead  of 
x-rays  to  safely  produce  images  of  an  unborn  child 
so  that  its  progress  and  condition  can  be 
determined  before  birth. 

The  campus  itself  has  also  grown.  The  $7.5 
million  renovation  of  Irvine  Hall  as  the  college's 
second  building  was  nearly  complete,  and  much  of 
the  building  was  opened  as  offices  and  classrooms. 
Parks  Hall  was  also  added,  unofficially,  to  the 
college  and  may  soon  be  taken  over  completely  to 
house  the  Medical  Service  Clinics  now  located  in 
the  basement  of  Grosvenor  Hall. 

In    the    winter    it    was   announced    that    the 
incoming  class  would  be  increased  from  48  to  72   „ 
students,  and  the  college  was  well  on  its  way  to  a   | 
projected  capacity  of  about  500  students,  in  Ohio's  n 
first  and  only  college  of  osteopathic  medicine.         &

Since  February.  1969.  Alden  Library  has  been 
the  place  to  go  to  study  or  do  research.  More  than 
a  decade  later,  Alden  is  still  "the  place"  but  it  has 
other  uses. 

Junior  Cindy  Parker  comments.  "People 
definitely  go  to  the  library  to  socialize,  especially 
during  finals  week,  it's  packed,  so  it's  easy  to  meet 
someone."  Karen  Zando,  senior,  agrees  socializing 
is  common.  "I  don't  go  often  because  I  see  too  many 
old  friends  and  don't  get  any  work  done." 

The  library  is  also  used  to  pass  time  between 


classes  so  a  student  doesn't  have  to  walk  back  to 
his  or  her  dorm  room.  The  library's  snack  room 
supplies  food  to  keep  one  going  from  class  to  class. 
Alden  has  stockpiles  of  current  newspapers  from 
everyone's  hometown  (well,  almost),  and 
magazines. 

"I  go  to  sleep  sometimes  —  it's  quiet,"  says 
senior  Purnee  Murdock. 

For  some  students,  using  the  library  is  a 
requirement.  Freshmen  trainees,  for  example, 
must    study    weeknights    for    two    hours.    Some

106 


fraternities  and  sororities  require  pledges  to  go  to 
Alden  for  study  tables  weekly. 

The  Student  Development  Center  is  utilized 
by  students  who  want  to  brush  up  or  need  help  on 
a  particular  subject.  Movies  shown  in  classes  can 
be  viewed  there. 

The  library  has  many  meeting  rooms  that  can 
be  used  by  different  groups.  Some  classes  are 
taught,  and  cultural  activities  such  as  poetry 
readings  or  music  recitals  go  on. 

And  then,  there  are  the  78  full-time  employees 


who  go  to  Alden  to  earn  a  living,   and  a  large 
number  of  work-study  and  part-time  students  are 

employed  there.  - 

The  next  time  you  are  bored  and  wondering  S 

where   to   go  or  what   to  do   try  Alden   Library.  £ 

Besides  helping  you  suceed  in  the  classroom,  you'll  £ 

be  sure  to  see  someone  doing  something,  even  if  it  s 

is  just  snoozing.  ° 


Ann  Wheaton  searches  through  a  lew  of  the  more  than  one  million  volumes  in  Alden  library. 


Students  often  need  information  on  where  to  find  information  —  the  library  subscribes  to  over  5,100  periodicals.

Business 
Administration 


This  year  the  College  of  Business  Administra- 
tion expanded  its  curriculum  by  opening  the 
decade  with  a  new  major  area  of  study  and  student 
organization  to  go  with  it. 

The  new  field  of  study,  called  personnel  and 
industrial  relations,  is  designed  to  prepare 
students  for  careers  in  personnel  working  with  and 
for  unions  and  companies  in  mediating  relations. 
The  American  Society  of  Personnel  Administration 
elected  the  first  officers  in  1979-80. 

"This  new  area  gives  them  (the  students) 
more  options  in  career  choices  —  a  more  specific 
area  of  concentration,"  said  Dr.  John  Stinson, 
acting  dean  of  the  college  and  management 
department  chairman. 


Along  with  these  new  concepts  of  study,  there 
are  also  the  old  standbys.  The  three  sequences 
within  the  Business  College  —  Accounting  and 
Quantitative  Methods,  Administrative  Sciences, 
and  Management  —  provide  students  with  career 
possibilities  in  finance,  general  business, 
management,  marketing.  production  man- 
agement, business  pre-law  and  the  perennial 
favorite,  quantitative  methods,  which  deals  with 
data  processing  and  statistics. 

The  College  of  Business  Administration  is  also 
selecting  an  outstanding  faculty  person  to  fill  an 
endowed  chair  in  the  banking  department.  New 
faces  and  changes  seem  to  be  the  order  of  the 
decade. 


108 


The  Business  Administration  College  sponsors  an  annual  Career  Day  in  which  students  listen  to  professionals  lecture 
on  their  respective  fields. 


More  and  more  women,  like  Vicki  Laferty,  are  entering  the  College  of  Engineering  and  Technology. 


The  very  nature  of  the  field  of  engineering 
and  technology  demands  change,  and  because  of 
this,  the  College  of  Engineering  and  Technology 
tries  to  install  in  its  students  the  desire  to 
continue  learning  and  to  keep  up  with  the 
constant  changes  in  the  field. 

"They  have  to  realize  that  their  learning  is 
not  good  forever;  it  has  to  be  continually 
updated,"  Dean  Richard  Mayer  said. 

In  addition,  the  college  is  trying  to  get 
students  practical  experience  before  gradua- 
tion. One  way  of  doing  this  is  the  cooperative 
education  program  that  it  is  getting  involved  in. 
Under  this  program,  students  work  away  from 
school  in  their  field  for  three  quarters  during 
their  junior  or  senior  year,  and  turn  their  college 


education  into  a  five  year  experience. 

But  this  program,  and  the  college's 
increasing  enrollment  have  put  an  extra  burden 
on  the  faculty.  The  addition  of  new  positions 
funded  by  the  university  and  two  endowed  chairs 
funded  by  the  $7.5  million  gift  of  the  late  Paul 
Stocker  has  eased  the  situation,  but  Mayer  said 
that  new  faculty  members  are  still  needed. 

The  college  is  sponsoring  research  in 
several  areas  of  coal  mining,  airplane  safety, 
solar  energy  and  traffic  safety.  Mayer  believes 
that  these  projects  and  other  research  will  soon 
draw  national  recognition. 

"With  the  Stocker  funding  and  the  new 
(proposed)  building,"  Mayer  said,  "The  decade 
of  the  eighties  will  be  great  for  the  college."

The  ROTC  classroom  is  often  lound  outdoors,  sometimes  in  tight  places.

"Hut.  two  three,  four!"  The  mocking  goes  on 
behind  their  backs,  sometimes  directly  to  their  faces, 
but  they  don't  let  it  bother  them;  they  can't.  There 
was  a  time  when  students  in  the  Air  Force  and  Army 
ROTC  commanded  respect.  But  since  Vietnam, 
popular  sentiment  has  turned  from  the  military,  and 
students  participating  in  ROTC  undeservingly  catch 
the  flack. 

"You  get  a  few  people  that  say  'warmonger'  and 
things,  but  you  have  to  brush  that  off."  Bruce 
Rienstra,  a  student  in  Army  ROTC  said.  "You  have 
to  remember  they  don't  know  what  they're  talking 
about." 

Many  of  the  ROTC  classes  such  as  map  reading 
and  orienteering  are  opened  to  all  students,  with  no 
obligations.  In  this  class  a  student  must  find  his  way 
out  of  an  unfamiliar  woods  with  just  a  map  and  a 
compass. 

"We  pride  ourselves  that  we  don't  force  anyone 
into  the  program."  said  Maj.  Eric  Jungkind.  "If  they 
want  to  be  here,  we're  glad.  But  if  they  don't,  we 
don't  force  anyone  into  the  program." 

Students  can  participate  in  ROTC  during  their 
freshman  and  sophomore  years  with  no  obligation. 
Those  who  continue  can  receive  $100  per  month 
while  participating  and  graduate  with  a  commitment 
to  serve  in  the  Army  or  Air  Force,  the  national  guard 
or  the  reserves  for  up  to  six  years. 

In  spite  of  their  military  lifestyles,  ROTC 
students  remain  students.  "ROTC  people  know  how 
to  have  a  good  time  and  party  and  everything,"  said 
Barbara  Stewart,  of  Army  ROTC. 

Rienstra  agreed.  "It's  a  job  most  people  don't 
understand."

Fine  Arts 


Though  only  one  of  nine  colleges  at  OU,  the 
College  of  Fine  Arts  supplies  much  of  the  culture 
for  Athens.  Besides  concentrating  on  developing 
serious  artists,  musicians,  dancers  and  actors,  the 
college  provides  students  of  every  major  with  a 
creative  outlet. 

Each  year  about  400  undergraduates  and  70 
graduate  students  take  classes  in  painting, 
ceramics,  glass,  fibers,  sculpture  and  any  of  the 
other  twelve  areas  of  study.  The  school  boasts  one 
of  the  oldest  and  finest  photography  programs  in 
the  country.  It  offers  the  community  a  Visiting 
Lecture  Series  of  nationally-known  artists  as  well 
as  a  look  at  student  work  in  many  gallery  exhibits 
across  campus. 

The  School  of  Music  emphasizes  private 
instruction  and  small  classes  for  students  who  pass 
the  initial  audition.  Their  main  goal  is  to  train 
professional  musicians.  However,  the  majority  of 
graduates  go  into  teaching.  Several  musical 
organizations  give  students  the  opportunity  to 
perform  as  well  as  exposing  the  entire  community 
to  everything  from  opera  to  jazz. 

Even  though  admission  to  the  School  of  Dance 
is  only  through  audition,  all  students  can  enjoy  the 
activities  that  go  on  in  Putnam  Hall.  Guest  faculty 
and  visiting  artists  perform  numerous  concerts 
throughout  the  year.  And.  students  go  on  from 
choreographing  local  productions  to  dancing  in 
regional  and  national  dance  companies. 

Theater  majors  work  on  two  different  stages 
toward  their  goal  of  becoming  professional  actors. 
During  the  summer  the  school  produces  shows  at 
local  Ohio  Valley  Summer  Theaters  as  well  as  the 
Monomoy  Theater  in  Massachusetts.  Currently 
plans  are  in  the  making  for  a  touring  project  so  - 
that  students  can  perform  their  best  work  across  ! 
the  U.S.  J 


Art  classes  are  among  the  most  popular  in  the  university. 


112 


Communications  students  have  the  opportunity  to  participate  in  the  production  of  radio  and  television  shows,  as 
well  as  several  campus  publications. 


Imagine  being  a  senior  in  high  school  again 
and  wishing  to  further  a  career  in  communica- 
tions. You  apply  at  Ohio  University,  you  are 
accepted,  and  now  you  must  choose  which  field 
of  communication  you  would  like  to  pursue:  OU 
offers  journalism,  interpersonal  communication, 
visual  communication  and  radio-television. 

If  you  decide  on  journalism,  you  have  chosen 
to  become  one  of  approximately  800  students 
also  wanting  a  career  in  that  field.  You  associate 
yourself  with  one  of  five  sequences  leading  to  a 
journalism  degree:  advertising,  magazine 
journalism,  news  writing  and  editing,  public 
relations  or  radio-TV  news. 

Perhaps   you    would    like    to   study    inter- 


personal communication,  better  known  as  InCo. 
The  InCo  major  concentrates  on  one  of  three 
sequences:  organizational  communication, 
general  speech,  or  general  communication.  One 
major  aspect  of  the  school  of  communication  is 
the  forensics  program,  which  is  a  nationally- 
recognized  debate  team. 

One    of    the    nation's    best-known    college 
broadcast  stations,  WOUB,  is  the  main  element 
of    the    school    of    radio-TV.    If    you    have 
broadcasting  or  production  ambitions,  then  you 
would    probably    choose    one    of    the    three  s 
sequences:    professional   broadcast   production,  5 
professional    broadcast    administration,    or  « 
comprehensive  study  in  radio-TV.  Z

The  Honors  Tutorial  College  expanded  to 
include  21  fields  of  study  for  the  gifted  student  to 
choose  from.  The  college,  which  is  the  only  one  in 
the  United  States  that  offers  degrees  through  a 
tutorial  system,  sets  a  student  up  in  a  one-on-one 
situation  with  a  faculty  member  to  design  and 
administer  an  independant  study  program. 

In  order  to  graduate,  students  must  satisfy 
departmental  requirements  which  generally 
consist  of  passing  a  set  of  comprehensive 
examinations  and  showing  competency  in  required 
fields  of  study.  It  is  possible  for  students  to 
graduate  in  two  or  three  years,  and  more  than  90 
percent  of  the  college's  graduates  go  on  to 
graduate  or  professional  schools. 

This  year  several  students  have  also  started 


a  tutoring  program  for  gifted  children  in  the 
Federal  Hocking  School  District,  and  plans  are 
underway  to  expand  this  to  other  local  school 
districts. 

"We've  had  some  people  who've  gotten  a 
tremendous  amount  out  of  the  program,"  said  Dr. 
Peter  Griffiths,  a  chemistry  tutor.  "But  some 
struggle  from  the  word  go.  It's  demanding;  not 
everyone  can  learn  in  the  tutorial  program." 

It  also  is  demanding  of  the  professors 
involved.  "We  have  to  be  awake,"  said  Dr.  John 
Mitchell,  of  botany.  "We  have  to  be  aware  of  the 
fact  that  they  are  better  than  the  average  student. 
They  do  their  own  research,  so  we  have  to  keep  on  § 
top  of  things.  When  they  come  up  with  their  own  * 
ideas,  we  have  to  be  prepared  to  defend  ours."      8 


Students  in  Honors  Tutorial  College  take  advanced  courses.  Joe  Foresthotter  speaks  to  Dr.  Margaret  Cohn  about  them.

One  of  the  key  purposes  of  University  College  is  to  help  familiarize  students  with  a  variety  of  study  fields,  as  Betty 
Hallow  is  doing  with  Robert  Tucker. 


This  year  marks  the  tenth  anniversary  of 
two  programs  originated  in  the  University 
College. 

The  Bachelor  of  General  Studies  program, 
begun  in  the  fall  of  1969.  allows  students  to 
create  their  own  areas  of  study  in  accordance 
with  individual  interests  and  talents. 

"The  program  is  for  people  who  know  what 
they  want  to  study,  but  in  an  area  we  don't  have 
a  major  in,"  said  Dr.  Don  Flourney,  Dean  of  the 
University  College. 

The  program  was  only  the  second  of  its  kind 
in  the  nation  and  recent  graduates  have  received 
degrees  in  specialized  areas  such  as  aviation 
management  and  electronic  music. 

The    University    Professor's    program,    is 


described  by  Flourney  as  still  a  "good  and  strong 
program." 

Each  year,  on  the  basis  of  campus-wide 
nominations  and  committee  approval,  anywhere 
from  one  to  ten  professors  are  cited  for 
outstanding  undergraduate  teaching. 

"The  program  is  one  of  my  favorites  because 
it  is  student  initiated  and  student  run,"  said 
Flourney. 

As  for  innovations,  a  course  entitled 
University  Experience  was  added  to  the  college's 
curriculum  this  year.  The  course,  geared  toward 
entering  freshmen,  emphasizes  solutions  to 
problems  that  might  interfere  with  a  new 
student's  success  in  college.  Topics  include  study 
skills  and  career  exploration.

Adjusting  to  a  small  dorm  room 
that  doesn't  have  all  the  comforts  of 
home  may  not  sound  ideal,  but  living 
in  a  dorm  offers  a  great  deal  more  to 
make  up  for  it. 

There  are  problems,  though.  For 
many  freshmen  it  is  the  first  time  on 
their  own  and  they  have  to  learn  to 
cope  with  laundry,  studies,  money  and 
increased  freedom.  Freshmen  men 
are  notorious  for  this.  "It  gets  a  little 
crazy."  said  Crawford  Hall  freshman 
Marty  Hancock.  "People  have  had 
hockey  games  in  the  corridors,  and 
busted  beer  bottles  against  the  wall." 
Freshmen  women's  problems  usually 
center  around  roommates.  They  tend 
to  request  roommate  changes 
frequently. 

All  dorm  residents  do  face 
similar  problems.  Probably  the  most 
common  complaint  is  noise.  While 
some  are  trying  to  study  or  sleep, 
others  are  playing  their  stereos  or 
having  parties. 

Many  dorm  residents  would  like 
to  cook  in  their  rooms  as  an 
alternative  to  cafeteria  food.  Re- 
sidents in  James  Hall  had  a  special 


Right  —  Popcorn  poppers,  being  used  here 
by  Becky  Jarren  and  Malek  Abou-Manaour, 
and  illegal  appliances  like  hot  plates 
abound  in  the  dorms.

problem  with  not  being  able  to  use  the 
overcrowded  Boyd  cafeteria  during 
peak  hours. 

Having  to  share  a  bathroom, 
television  and  lounge  with  others 
poses  difficulties  for  dorm  residents. 
"You're  living  in  a  community,"  said 
Len  Wagner,  an  RA  in  Dougan  House. 
"You  must  accept  things  you're  not 
used  to,  just  like  in  a  family.  This  has 
positive  and  negative  aspects." 

The  positive  aspects  of  dorm  life 
are  too  often  ignored  by  many  people. 
"Living  in  a  dorm  has  really  helped 


me  grow,"  sophomore  Russ  Grycza 
said.  "I've  met  a  lot  of  friends  I  never 
would  have  had  the  chance  to  meet 
outside  the  dorms.  Also  for  many  it  is 
a  chance  to  get  away  from  home  and 
really  make  it  on  your  own,  without 
the  restraints  and  help  of  parents.  It's 
a  make  or  break  situation." 

The  activities  planned  and 
unplanned  are  some  of  the  best  parts 
of  dorm  life.  Many  times  they  are 
unplanned.  "A  lot  of  times  we'll  get 
three  or  four  girls  together  in  a  room 
and  we'll  talk  about  anything  under

the  sun,"  said  Cristine  Armstrong,  a 
freshman  in  Boyd.  Late  nights 
playing  cards  and  eating  pizza  with 
friends  are  common. 

Weekend  parties  with  beer,  pizza 
and  music  are  always  popular.  Many 
times  they  are  built  around  themes 
such  as  beach  or  slumber  parties. 

The  Boyd  Hall  resident  assis- 
tants sponsored  an  unusual  surprise 
party.  They  wrote  home  to  all  the 
residents'  parents  asking  them  to 
send  their  daughter  a  gift  addressed 
to  the  students'  RA.  On  Valentine's 
Day  they  held  a  party  for  the  whole 
dorm  and  surprised  the  residents  with 
their  parents'  gifts. 

In    their    junior    year    many 
students   decide   to   move  out  of  the 
dorms.    Most    of    these    students 
remember  with  some  happiness  their 
experience  of  living  in  a  dorm.  For   » 
many,    like    Wagner,    "nothing    else  I 
captures    the    spirit    of    living    in    a° 
dorm."  *

It  Really  Works! 


Newcomers  who  are  required  to  live  in  the  dorms  may 
be  glad  to  know  that  there  are  special  counselors  trained  to 
help  them  with  any  problems.  These  are  the  students  and 
administrators  involved  in  the  Residence  Life  system. 

Resident  Assistants  tend  to  become  good  friends  with 
most  of  the  students  in  their  floor  sections,  according  to 
Laurie  Merriman.  an  RA  in  Johnson  Hall.  Merriman  said 
that  this  situation  is  helped  by  the  way  OU's  Residence  Life 
system  is  set  up  —  one  RA  to  every  25  freshmen  and  one  to 
every  35  upperclassmen. 

"These  ratios  differ  from  those  of  larger  universities 
where  it  would  be  harder  to  establish  lasting  friendships." 
Merriman  said.  "OU's  size  is  just  right  for  that  sort  of  thing, 
as  well  as  in  the  sense  of  being  an  RA,  too." 

Residence  Life  sponsors  many  acitvities  for  the  dorms, 
j  ranging  from  workshops  and  informational  presentations  to 
i  lounge  movies  and  parties. 

•  "Meeting  the  needs  of  the  students  within  limit  is  the 

"  most  important  aspect  of  Residence  Life,"  Merriman  said.

Do  you  ever  get  a  nervous  "I 
think  someone's  watching  me'"  feeling 
while  walking  alone  at  night? 

The  university  escort  service  is 
there  to  help,  offering  protection  for 
women  or  anyone  for  that  matter,  who 
doesn't  wish  to  walk  alone  at  night. 

"A  lot  of  girls  are  a  little  touchy 
about  being  out  (at  night)"  commen- 
ted Robert  Guinn.  director  of 
security. 

Guinn  feels  there  are  particular 
areas  of  campus  where  it  is  not  wise 
for  women  to  be  walking  alone,  citing 
the  area  south  of  Bird  Arena  as  one 
example. 

He  believes  the  use  of  an  escort 
service  is  a  prudent  idea. 

"There  are  some  (assaults),  so  it 
does  serve  the  purpose,"  he  said.  "If 
it  only  prevents  one  assault,  then  it 
makes  my  job  easier." 

The  service  is  under  the  direction 
of  the  Student  Senate,  with  Associate 
Dean  of  Students  Joel  Rudy  acting  as 
adviser. 

Chief  coordinator  of  the  service, 
senate  member  Lisa  Lightfoot, 
resigned  her  position  this  year,  and  a 
successor  has  yet  to  be  named. 

The  service  is  available  to  any 
student  who  feels  the  need,  and  as 
Guinn  adds.  "It's  a  good  service  even 
if  it  offers  nothing  more  than  peace  of 
mind." 


Armed  with  a  radio  and  a  flashlight,  an  escort  team  stands  ready.  Certain  areas  ot  campus  admittedly  pose  a  risk  late  at  night.

Pauline  has  found  that  when  she  puts  a  little  extra  shine  on  things,  students  are  grateful. 


pleam./^limmer&ohine 


The  housekeeper  grabbed  the 
student,  pressed  a  card  into  his  hand 
and  planted  a  kiss  on  his  cheek. 
"Happy  birthday,  Jeff,"  she  said. 

For  the  residents  of  Gamerts- 
felder  Hall,  and  for  Pauline  Pauley, 
the  housekeeper  for  half  of  Gam's 
second,  third  and  fourth  floors,  the 
scene  was  not  unusual.  Pauley  is  one 
of  a  number  of  housekeepers  working 
in  the  dorms  who  manages  to  make 


her  job  more  than  just  cleaning  floors, 
lounges  and  bathrooms.  And  when  the 
relationship  between  housekeepers 
and  students  becomes  more  than  just 
professional,  everyone  seems  to 
benefit. 

"These  kids  are  just  like  my 
own,"  Pauley  said.  "They  come  to  me 
every  now  and  then  and  I  help  them 
any  way  I  can.  I  think  it's  better  if  you 
try  to  do  little  things  for  them  that 


you  maybe  could  pass  up.  I  like  to  keep 
it  nice  and  clean  for  them,  because 
they  keep  it  that  way." 

And  the  students  often  return 
the  favors.  She  received  several  cards 
and  two  boxes  of  candy  for  Valentine's 
Day  and  usually  gets  flowers  from 
students  on  her  birthday. 

"I've  never  seen  a  student  I 
didn't  like,"  Pauley  said.  "They  grow 
on  you."

Betsy  William*  it  often  the  only  woman  in  the  weightroom,  but  that  doesn't  bother  her. 


otrengthT^ordlnrhings 


She  looks  out  of  place,  sitting 
there  pumping  weights  and  sweating 
like  all  the  guys  in  their  half-T-shirts 
and  shorts.  Never  mind  that  Betsy 
Williams  only  has  one  arm,  she's  a 
woman. 

But  she's  a  woman  who  believes  in 
herself;  and  she  believes  that  physical 
fitness  has  given  her  the  confidence 
she  needs  to  maintain  her  lifestyle. 

"I  feel  like  I'm  more  here," 
Williams  said.  "I  feel  more  confident, 
like  I  can  do  things  that  I  wouldn't  do 
before." 

"Most  girls  won't  work  out 
because  they  don't  want  to  get  big  and 
muscular.  There's  no  way  I  can  get 
big.    I    don't    have    the    hormones." 


Williams  said.  "You  can  get  thin  by 
not  eating  and  still  be  flabby.  The 
women  in  the  fashion  magazines  all 
work  out." 

But  Williams  does  not  lift  weights 
to  be  in  a  fashion  magazine.  She  feels 
the  confidence  she  gets  from  it  helps 
her  relax,  read  and  paint.  And  she 
insists  that  she  couldn't  really  have 
fun  without  being  strong.  When  she's 
not  at  Grover  or  painting  —  she's  a 
painting  major  —  she  likes  to 
backpack,  swim,  ride  horses,  travel  or 
do  yoga.  In  the  spring  she's  going  to 
take  up  belly  dancing  and  get  a 
bicycle.  Strength,  she  said,  makes  all 
of  these  more  enjoyable. 

"It's  a  natural  thing  for  humans 


to  put  a  lot  of  tension  into  their  bodies. 
If  you  get  strong,  just  spend  that 
three  hours  a  week  working  out,  you 
can  get  rid  of  those  tensions,"  she 
said.  "After  working  out,  and  after 
the  sauna,  it's  better  than  a  fifth  of 
whiskey;  you  just  feel  so  relaxed." 

Having  only  one  arm  has  always 
made  it  difficult  for  Williams  to 
strengthen  the  left  side  of  her  body, 
but  it  doesn't  stop  her.  In  fact,  in  a 
way  she  feels  it  has  helped  her.  She 
feels  that  one  reason  women  don't 
come  to  the  weight  room  is  the  looks 
they  get  from  men. 

"It's  kind  of  intimidating.  I  guess 
I'm  used  to  being  stared  at;  it  doesn't 
bother  me,"  she  said. 


124 


Since  she  began  working  out,  Williams  has  found  strength  for 
everything  in  her  lite.  She  started  her  program  at  the  coaxing  ot  her

A  naked  lightbulb  on  the  ceiling 
spreads  its  glare  to  reveal  bare 
cinder-block  walls  to  a  frightened 
freshman.  The  seed  of  disenchant- 
ment is  planted.  Through  the 
following  two  years  it  is  nurtured  by 
a  growing  hatred  of  cafeteria  food, 
rebellion  against  dormitory  regula- 
tions, disgust  with  noise,  impatience 
with  the  quarrels  of  fellow  residents 
("they're  all  so  immature"),  despair 
of  help  from  maintenance  and  a  long 


list  of  hassles  with  Chubb  Hall.  When 
the  time  comes  to  choose  a  home  for 
junior  year,  the  tree  of  discontent  is 
sturdy  enough  to  climb  and  tall 
enough  to  see  all  of  Athens. 

Sophomores,  many  nervous  about 
opposition  from  parents  at  this 
independent  move,  begin  inquiring 
about  possibilities  for  apartments  and 
houses  early.  The  offices  at  Lakeview 
and  College  Inn  begin  to  handle  a  flow 
of  questions,   landlords  answer  their 


phones  and  recite  time  and  again 
their  list  of  properties  and  prices. 
Small  groups  convene  to  discuss  who 
will  live  with  whom  and  where  they 
can  afford  to  live. 

The  options  are  diverse.  Both 
small-time  and  big-time  landlords 
offer  a  variety  of  apartments  and 
houses  all  over  Athens  County.  Some 
students  look  for  the  country  setting 
among  the  hills  and  content  them- 
selves with  having  to  drive  into  town 


126 


Left  —  With  an  understanding  landlord, 
place*  can  be  personalized. 


Above  —  You  take  the  good  with  the  bad 
when  you  move  out:  your  own  cooking,  but 
your  own  dishes. 

Bottom  —  An  apartment  can  have  all  the 
comforts  ot  home 


127 


each  day  to  attend  classes.  The  home 
in  the  country  gives  them  quiet  and 
isolation,  but  removes  them  from  the 
conveniences  of  being  near  school  and 
uptown.  Others  look  into  apartments 
located  above  the  Eatery,  the 
Junction  or  some  other  establishment 
to  maximize  convenience,  but  lose  all 
sense  of  quiet  and  isolation.  The 
spectrum  between  these  two  extremes 
is  complete.  A  house  in  the  Old  West 
End  or  down  Lancaster  Street 
provides  some  quiet  yet  is  still  within 
walking  distance  of  the  campus. 
Apartments  in  the  College  Inn  or 
Lakeview  put  a  student  on  top  of 
things,  but  provide  not  much  more 
privacy  than  dorms.  The  Mill  Street 
apartment  complex  nestles  itself  back 
along  the  Hocking  River,  only  a  few 
blocks  from  campus. 

So  the  hunt  begins.  Middle-class 
noses   turn    at   the   sight   of   peeling 


The  freedom  ol  your  own 

paint  and  stained  furniture.  Eyes 
accustomed  to  mother's  tasteful 
interior  decorating  try  to  envision 
slip-covers  and  area  rugs  making  a 
home  out  of  a  bleak  rectangle.  Ears 
listen  intently  for  the  scurrying  of 
cockroaches  when  the  door  opens. 

Pencils  tap,  calculators  flash  and 
minds  work  as  students  determine  the 
limits  of  their  budgets.  Summer  jobs, 
frugality  and  generous  parents  are 
hopefully  considered.  Someone  in  the 
group  backs  out,  those  remaining 
search  frantically  for  a  replacement. 
Contracts  are  signed:  deposits  made 
and  the  ordeal  has  ended. 

That  is  until  fall,  when  the  fun 
really  begins.  The  items  everyone 
promised  to  bring  fail  to  show  up.  The 
landlord  removed  the  refrigerator 
without  replacing  it.  GTE  didn't  hook 
up  the  telephone  as  scheduled.  Garage 
sales  in  Athens  become  more  popular

than  theaters,  and  used  furniture 
stores  do  a  booming  business. 
Employees  at  Kroger's  and  Super 
Duper  marvel  at  the  variety  of 
purchases  made  and  the  amount  of 
discussion  each  decision  requires. 
Shoppers  marvel  at  the  way  the 
budget  fails  to  cover  expenses  — 
already. 

Sooner  or  later,  though,  things 
become  settled.  Not  exactly  as 
planned,  but  livable.  The  meals  aren't 
as  good  as  expected,  but  they  beat  the 
dorm  food.  Neighbors  are  still  noisy, 
but  it's  more  bearable  somehow. 
Housemates  bicker  at  21  just  as  room 
mates  did  at  18,  but  the  topics  are 
much  more  substantial,  of  course. 
Landlords  aren't  any  better  than  OU 
maintenance,  but  there  were  warn- 
ings about  that.  It's  a  longer  walk  to 
class,  but  it's  a  pleasanter  place  to 
return  to.

Ever  wished  you'd  just  left  the  old 
Chevy  at  home? 

Any  student  with  a  car  on  campus 
can  probably  tell  you  about  the 
irritations  involved. 

With  an  estimated  3,000  vehicles 
registered  to  OU  students,  one  of  the 
major  gripes  is  simply  finding  some- 
place to  park. 

"Garage  space  is  a  problem.  There 
aren't  nearly  enough  spaces  to  accom- 
modate the  dorm  residents  who  have 
cars."  reports  Robert  Guinn,  OU 
Security  Director. 

Those  bolder  students  who  choose 
to  leave  their  cars  in  unauthorized 
areas  can  tell  you  that  the  University  is 
not  the  least  bit  hesitant  to  have 
vehicles  towed  away. 

Towing  fees  range  from  $15  to  $20 
depending  on  which  towing  service  nabs 
your  car. 

An  employee  of  Ace  High  Towing 
Service  puts  it  best,  "We'll  tow  away 
anything.  We'll  take  a  police  cruiser  if 
they  tell  us  to." 

Getting  tickets  for  violations  is 
another  hazard.  Guinn  estimates  30,000 
citations  are  given  out  each  year  on 
campus.  Fines  range  from  $3  to  $10, 
depending  on  the  violation.  If  you 
haven't  already,  chances  are  that  | 
someday  you'll  find  one  or  more  of  those  » 
little  yellow  slips  neatly  tucked  under    j 

a 

your  wiper  blade.  2 


It  seems  as  if  almost  anywhere  is  the  wrong 
place  to  park,  and  could  bring  trouble.

Surely  everyone  has  heard  the 
phrase  "stop,  look  and  listen"  before. 
But  it  seems  that  when  students  get  to 
Ohio  University  they  forget  this 
advice.  Despite  the  crosswalks  with 
don't  walk  neon  signs,  they  go  their 
own  way. 

Students  cross  streets  where  they 
please,  and  the  cars  yield  not  only  at 
intersections,  but  at  any  given  point, 
particulary  uptown. 


Is  this  an  offense  in  Athens?  "Of 
course."  reported  a  police  spokesman. 
"Jaywalking  is  an  offense  in  any  city, 
except  maybe  in  very  small  hick 
towns." 

But    do    police   ticket   offenders? 
Fortunately,  no.  According  to  Athens  ' 
police,    it    depends    upon    the    police 
officer,  but  observation  would  tell  you 
that  no  one  seems  to  care.  i

SERA  -  TEC 

Money  is  the  main  reason 
students  sell  their  plasma  to  Sera-Tec 
Biologies,  an  FDA  licensed  chain 
located  primarily  in  college  towns. 
"Everybody  needs  money  all  the 
time,"  said  one  student. 

Of  the  1.000  donors  per  month  at 
Sera-Tec,  about  90%  of  them  are 
students,  according  to  the  manager, 
Bruce  Hecht.  Their  plasma  is  sold  to 
pharmaceutical  companies  for  fur- 
ther manufacturing  and  packaging. 

Most  students  come  regularly  at 
first.    Participation,    however,   drops 


off  from  the  maximum  of  twice  a  week 
to  just  when  students  need  money  — 
maybe  twice  a  month. 

"A  wide  variety  of  students  come 
to  Sera-Tec,"  said  Hecht.  There  is  no 
special  type  of  student  who  gives 
plasma.  "It's  mostly  males,  but  the 
ratio  can  be  50-50."  he  said.  No 
student  is  refused  if  he  can  pass  the 
various  physical  and  blood  tests  given 
by  the  Sera-Tec  lab  personnel." 

Courteous,  friendly  and  helpful 
describes  the  atmosphere  at  Sera-Tec 
for  most  students.  "The  staff  are  just 


real  people.  They  just  joke  around  like 
everyone  else,"  said  a  student. 

Strict  rules  and  regulations  must 
be  followed  though.  "This  is  not  a 
free-lance  operation,"  said  Hecht.  "I 
don't  think  most  students  realize  that 
we  are  licenced  and  inspected  by  the 
FDA." 

Whether  money  is  the  motive  or 
not,  students  using  Sera-Tec  as  a  form 
of  survival  at  O.U.  in  turn  help  other    3 
people  survive  through  the  benefits  of  u 
their  plasma.  w 


Lisa  Garnet  and  Don  Wright  choose  to  give 
blood  as  a  source  of  income.

Are  you  ill  at  ease  with  other 
people  and  do  you  find  it  hard  to  talk 
about  things?  Do  you  feel  your  mind  is 
a  complete  blank  and  you  never  know 
what  to  do?  Are  you  undecided  about 
a  major?  Do  you  panic  during  exams? 

These  and  similar  questions 
bother  most  students  during  their 
college  years  and  often  can't  be 
answered  without  some  guidance. 

The  Counseling  and  Psychologi- 
cal Services  Center  located  on  the 
third  floor  of  Hudson  Health  Center 
offer  career,  educational,  personal 
counseling,  and  an  occupational 
library  for  graduate  and  undergra- 
duate students  seeking  some  answers. 

Most  students  are  afraid  of 
confronting  psychological  "Houdinis" 
with  their  problems,  minor  or 
complex. 


"They  have  wrong  ideas  about 
mental  health,"  explains  Dr.  Jan 
Gill-Wigal,  one  of  nine  psychologists 
on  the  staff.  "Admitting  something  is 
wrong  or  saying  'I  have  a  problem'  is 
not  accepted  among  people.  Everyone 
wants  to  be  considered  normal." 

Most  counseling  is  done  for 
problems  everyone  has  at  one  time  or 
another,  such  as  stress,  depression, 
unsatisfactory  relationships,  and 
sexual  concerns.  Sometimes  these 
problems  occur  together  and  can  lead 
to  other  problems. 

While  most  students  come  for 
"personal  adjustment  counseling," 
these  problems  can  be  inter-related 
with  educational  or  career  problems, 
such  as  failing  grades,  poor  study 
habits,  and  lack  of  motivation  to 
study.    Some    students    may    want 


guidance   in   choosing   a   major   or  a 
future  occupation. 

The  center  offers  counseling  on  a 
one-to-one  basis  and  group  therapy 
sessions.  These  bring  together  10-12 
students  who  are  unassertive  or  too 
aggressive  with  others  in  group 
situations.  This  helps  them  to 
overcome  fears  and  feel  more 
comfortable. 

Although  counseling  doesn't  help 
everyone,  the  staff  members  believe 
most  students  leave  a  session  or  series 
of  sessions  feeling  better  about 
themselves  and  are  able  to  come  with 
school  and  personal  problems. 

"There  is  enrichment  and 
problem-solving  in  the  counseling," 
says  Gill-Wigal,  "and  it's  exciting  to 
watch  people  look  at  themselves."

fellow  students.

wide  variety  of  reasons.

Blacks,  feminists,  gays  and 
coalitions  against  world  hunger  or  the 
military  draft.  No,  this  is  not  a  list  of 
activists  from  the  sixties,  but 
programs  currently  working  for 
social  change  at  United  Campus 
Ministry. 

"There  are  misconceptions  about 
the  UCM  is  and  what  it  does,"  says  the 
Rev.  Jan  Griesinger.  a  member  of  the 
staff  which  includes  the  Rev.  Wayland 
Melton  and  Carol  Kuhre.  "Students 
hear  about  gay  people  or  feminists 
meeting  here  a  lot,  so  they  tend  to 
identify  UCM  with  only  those  groups. 
But  UCM  has  programs  that  include 
all  people  and  all  ideas." 


There  is  also  a  misunderstanding 
about  the  role  of  the  church  since 
Christianity  is  usually  identified  with 
having  good  personal  morals  and 
attending  church  every  Sunday. 

But  Christianity  is  also  a  religion 
of  faith  and  political  involvement," 
says  Griesinger.  "It  has  to  do  with  the 
status  quo  and  why  society  deals  with 
people  the  way  it  does." 

UMC  feels  it  is  their  role  to  get 
involved  in  political  and  social  issues 
as  advocates  for  people  who  are 
discriminated  against  or  abused, 
sexually,  racially  or  politically.  To 
deal  with  such  cases,  they  use  a 
continuous    three-step    process    to 


establish  the  cause  of  a  problem,  study 
it,  and  effect  a  change. 

Recent  changes  have  been  made 
involving  women's  study  courses  at 
Ohio  University,  a  Black  Student 
union  and  a  Gay  People's  Alliance.  An 
awareness  of  the  hunger  problem  in 
Cambodia  and  South  America  has 
been  fostered  by  the  Coalition  Against 
World  Hunger.  People  for  Peace  are 
calling  for  nuclear  disarmament  and 
opposing  the  return  of  the  draft.  £ 

"The  people  who  are  a  part  of  the  3 
problem  are  the  ones  that  will  solve  2 
it."  Griesinger  said.

Each  day.  Ohio  University 
students  eagerly  scan  the  classifieds 
in  THE  POST,  looking  for  a  ride 
upstate,  a  personal  message,  or  maybe 
a  place  to  live.  And  then  they  come 
across  two  lines:  "Bring  Jesus  into 
your  life  come  to  our  fellowship  this 
Friday  night."  There  are  similar 
messages  scattered  all  over  the  page. 

At  the  bottom  of  each  ad  is  the 
name  of  a  Christian  organization,  one 
of  16  with  over  400  members  among 
them  —  as  large  as  a  minority  group 
on  campus  —  yet  no  one  seems  to  hear 
of  these  "Born  Again  Christian" 
students. 

This  latest  renewal  of  interest  in 
the  student  Christian  movement  has 
been  growing  steadily  since  the 
mid-seventies  when  there  were  only  a 
few  groups  active.  Yet  these  students, 
their  groups,  their  religion,  and  even 
the  phenomenon  itself  are  still 
misunderstood  by  most  people. 

They  are  part  of  a  new  genera- 
tion of  students  emerging  after  the 
anti-war  era,  a  generation  more 
concerned  about  their  grades  in 
response  to  economic  recessions  and 
the  poor  job  market  for  many 
graduates.  While  most  students  were 
concentrating  on  finding  careers, 
these  students  looked  to  more 
traditional  values  such  as  religion. 

"Today,  young  people  are  going 
to  college  and  the  core  ethical 
questions,  such  as  the  nature  of  our 
reality,  of  good  versus  evil,  and  of 
justice,  have  never  been  more 
pronounced,"  explains  the  Rev.  E. 
Frances  Morgan,  pastor  of  the  Good 
Shepard  Episcopal  Church. 

Part  of  their  attraction  comes  by 
fulfilling  some  basic  needs  that  are 
locked  in  their  lives,  says  Barb 
Walker,  a  student  leader  in  River  of 
Life  Ministries,  one  of  the  largest 
fellowship  groups.  Some  of  these  needs 


are  safety,  self-esteem,  a  sense  of 
belonging,  and  a  chance  for  personal 
growth. 

The  groups  themselves  are 
different  from  one  another  in 
character  as  they  are  different  from 
the  traditional  church.  Each  group 
has  its  own  personality  that  attracts 
different  individuals  to  its  own 
particular  style.  Some  groups,  such  as 
the  River  of  Life  or  the  Christian 
Student  Fellowship  meet  once  a  week 
to  pray,  sing  hymns,  and  study 
scripture  from  the  Bible.  Others  like 
Campus  Crusade  for  Christ  or 
Inter-Varsity  that  believe  in  more 
intensive    study    of    the    Bible    and 


evangelical  work,  belong  to  nation- 
wide organizations  involved  with 
fund-raising  and  national  confer- 
ences. 

The  Christian  students  believe 
they  are  finding  many  of  their 
questions  and  needs  answered 
through  fellowship.  They  have 
experienced  an  attitude  change,  they 
say,  an  attitude  change  which  gives 
them  the  motivation  to  deal  with  the 
same  problems  which  had  earlier 
confused  them. 

"We  are  growing  from  the  center 
outward."  says  a  member  of  the 
Christian  Student  Fellowship.  "We're 
sure  of  ourselves  now,  and  we  can  use 


136 


the  Bible  to  cite  why." 

"The  biggest  question  Christian 
students  still  ask  however,"  says  Dr. 
Rebecca  Propst.  an  OU  psychology 
professor  and  adviser  to  River  of  Life, 
"is,  'How  are  we  to  be  different  from 
the  rest  of  the  world?'  As  the  students 
learn  more  about  the  social  aspects  of 
their  faith,  they  will  become  more 
politically  concerned." 


River   of    Life    Ministries    Friday    Night 
Fellowship  is  one  of  the  largest  Christian 
fellowships  on  campus. 
Members   often   express   intense  spiritual 
experiences,  as  does  Craig  Gambreo.

glow  of  God's  love  on  their  faces,  as  do  Keith 
Wasserman  and  Susie  Ribble. 
Right  -  The  people  who  attend  Friday  Night 
Fellowship  develop  a  bond  and  closeness  that 
is  lasting.

Whether  it  be  making  pizzas, 
delivering  them,  working  in  the 
cafeterias  or  creating  the  advertising 
for  university  activities,  many  job 
opportunities  are  available  on  and  off 
campus. 

The  Office  of  Student  Employ- 
ment and  Financial  Aid  serves  as  a 
referral  for  employment.  All  potential 
job  openings  are  posted  regularly  and 
remain  posted  for  at  least  three  days 
in  the  office  located  on  the  ground 
floor  of  Chubb  Hall. 

Work-Study  programs  are  an 
intregal  part  of  student  employment. 
Work-Study  tries  to  correlate  a 
student's  major  and  current  job 
openings. 

Kathy  Romanin,  a  freshman 
journalism  major  here,  is  employed  by 
the  Work-Study  program  in  the 
Graphics  Department.  "We  work  on 
the  graphics  and  advertising  of 
promoting  different  activities  that 
occur  on  campus  and  in  the  city  of 
Athens,*'  Romanin  said.  "I  have  some 
experience  in  art,  and  the  Work- 
Study  program  tries  to  assign 
students  to  departments  which  make 
the  best  of  their  talents." 

Available  jobs  include  office  work 
in  various  college  departments.  Such 
jobs  develop  clerical  skills  and  allow 
students  to  grasp  vital  experience  in 
their  prospective  field.  Or,  a  student 


may  work  at  Baker  Center,  the  library 
or  campus  cafeterias. 

Of  course  all  majors  can't  be 
correlated  with  each  job,  but  the  jobs 
still  help.  Mary  Klaus,  a  sophomore  in 
electrical  engineering  said,  "Student 
Employment  is  really  good  at  getting 
you  a  job  if  you  really  need  one.  They 
offer  you  a  variety  of  jobs."  She 
continued,  "It's  much  more  conven- 
ient working  on  campus,  mainly 
because  it  is  closer  and  it  is  nice  to 
work  with  fellow  OU  students.  It's 
another  opportunity  to  meet  people. 
They'll  put  me  anywhere  from  serving 
on  the  line  to  working  in  the  dish 
room.  It's  pretty  enjoyable,  the 
relations  you  build  with  the  older, 
permanent  workers." 

Most    students    have    to    renew 


their  job  every  quarter,  similar  to  a 
job  bid.  The  student  presently  holding 
the  job  has  first  priority,  while  past 
performance  is  considered. 

Minimum  wage  is  the  standard 
pay  for  on-campus  work,  although  a 
department  may  pay  a  student  more. 

Off-campus  work  boasts  an 
abundant  array  of  jobs.  Jobs  such  as 
deliverymen,  bouncers,  cashiers  and 
stock  boys  are  some  types  available. 

The  Office  Of  Student  Employ- 
ment only  monitors  on-campus 
employment,  but  it  does  encourage 
off -campus  employers  to  hire  students 
part-time. 

As  far  as  the  occupation  outlook 
once  a  student  leaves  OU,  the  Office  of 
Career  Planning  and  Placement 
offers  guidance  and  advice. 


Work  study  and  university  jobs  may  put  a  studant  to  work  at  the  Learning  Resources  Center 
or  the  Frontier  Room.

Several  of  the  bars  draw  a  pretty  good  day-time  crowd,  especially  for  Happy  Hour. 


OU  is  not  a  party  school;  OU  is 
THE  party  school,  according  to 
many  T-shirts  and  bumper 
stickers. 

It  is  no  secret  that  OU  has 
been  labelled  by  students  and 
others  as  a  top-rate  party  school. 
This  reputation  seems  to  have 
taken  root  in  the  sixties  when  the 
anti-war  movement  was  in  full 
force.  OU  became  notorious  for 
active  demonstrations  and  invol- 
vement which  still  continues  in  a 
near-annual  spring  riot.  The  sixties 
was  also  a  time  when  the  new 
morality  movement,  characterized 


by  drugs,  sex,  and  rock'n'roll 
became  the  focus  of  many  cam- 
puses. Ohio  University  was  cer- 
tainly no  exception.  Then  in  the 
early  seventies,  PLAYBOY 
magazine  declared  Ohio  Universi- 
ty the  top  party  school  in  the 
country.  Earlier  this  year,  NUT- 
SHELL magazine  added  to  the 
reputation  by  listing  Ohio  Univer- 
sity's Halloween  celebration  as 
one  of  the  top  ten  collegiate 
parties  in  the  country. 

But  is  the  reputation  de- 
served? Certainly  few  schools 
OU's  size  have  as  many  bars  near

campus.  The  counts   vary,   but 
there  are  at  least  27  bars  in  Athens, 
most  ol  which  are  located  in  the 
uptown  area. 

And  certainly  Ohio  University 
has  its  share  of  parties.  Although 
Halloween  is  the  most  celebrated 
event,  there  are  many  other 
unusual  parties.  Among  these 
have  been  a  Hurricane  David  party, 
the  Rev.  Jimmy  Jones  party,  a 
Three-Mile  Island  party,  a  wake 
party  honoring  the  death  of  a 
spider  which  lived  in  the  College 
Inn  for  a  quarter.  There  are  parties 
celebrating  the  beginning  of  a  new 
quarter,  the  end  of  midterms  and 


of  course,  the  end  of  finals  and  the 
quarter.  But  most  often,  no  reason 
is  needed  for  parties;  they  could 
happen  anytime  or  anywhere  on  or 
off  campus. 

But  perhaps  the  real  key  to  the 
reputation  is  the  uptown  area.  Bars 
open  in  the  morning  for  those  who 
drink  their  orange  juice  with  a  little 
twist,  stay  open  in  the  afternoon 
for  students  to  relax  in  between 
classes,  and  drive  into  the  night  to 
help  one  sleep  more  comfortably 
in  preparing  for  a  rough  class 
schedule  the  next  day. 

And  the  weekends  begin  on 

Thursday  night.  Whether  the  bars

are  featuring  bluegrass  music  like 
the  Frontier  Room,  jazz  like 
Bojangles,  a  touch  of  bizarre,  like 
Swanky's,  or  straight  ahead 
rock'n'roll,  like  the  Junction,  it'll  be 
packed  Thursday,  Friday,  and 
Saturday  nights.  Regardless  of  the 
weather,  some  bars  will  be 
jammed  to  overflowing  with  lines 
going  into  the  street  and  parties 
going  well  into  the  night .  .  . 


A  "tub-human"  attembly  lina,  where  Athens 

But  perhaps  Ohio  University  is 
like  any  other  school.  Since  the 
image   exists,   students   like   to 
exploit  it.  Some  like  the  feeling  of 
telling  friends  at  home  they  attend 
a   party  school,  but  most  never 
forget  they're  here  for  a  degree.  In 
spite  of  the  overtness  of  the  | 
partying,  it  still  appears  to  be  a  £ 
minor  force  in  a  student's  life,  and  ! 
an  optional  one  at  that.  1

Foreigner  drew  just  6,800  people,  well  below  Ihe  9,600  capacity  proposed  later  lor  the  Convo. 


The  concert  season  in  Athens 
began  in  big  fashion  with  four 
big-name  rock  and  roil  bands 
coming  to  the  Convocation  Center 
in  the  fall.  But  financial  losses  and 
a  re-arranging  of  seating  in  the 
Convo  caused  the  Pop  Concert 
Committee  to  change  its  style  in 
the  winter,  and  smaller  acts  began 
coming  to  town. 

Styx  performed  the  first  and 
most  widely  attended  concert  of 
the  season.  The  band  combined 
such  old  favorites  as  "Come  Sail 
Away",  "Renegade",  and  their 
encore  number  "Miss  America" 
with  several  songs  from  their 
latest  album,  Cornerstone.  Their 
dazzling  light  show  plus  individual 
performances  by  John  Panozzo  on 
drums  and  Tommy  Shaw  on  guitar 


highlighted  this  homecoming 
weekend  attraction. 

Four  weeks  later,  another 
Convo  Concert  featured  Kansas.  A 
lackluster  performance  by  the 
band  was  made  worse  by  their 
inability  to  use  their  laser  light 
show.  Jimmy  Matthews,  director  of 
environmental  health  and  safety 
for  the  university,  prohibited  the 
laser  show  because  of  previous 
accidents  caused  by  such  equip- 
ment and  Kansas'  late  request  for 
a  mandatory  inspection  of  their 
lasers. 

"Dust  in  the  Wind"  and  "Point 
of  Know  Return"  drew  the  greatest 
audience  response;  yet,  compared 
to  the  performance  of  their 
warm-up  act,  The  Michael  Stanley 
Band,  Kansas  and  their  crowd 


appeared  lifeless.  The  Cleveland- 
based  band  really  made  the  night 
worthwhile  for  the  6,441  who 
attended. 

Just  fourteen  days  separated 
that  show  and  the  appearance  of 
Foreigner.  In  some  ways,  it  was  a 
repeat  of  the  Kansas  concert. 

The  superstar  band  with  three 
successful  albums  on  the  market 
drew  high  expectations,  but  their 
performance  proved  to  be 
mediocre.  Although  only  6,800 
came,  Foreigner  fans  flowed  with 
the  frenzied  guitar  solos  of  Mick 
Jones  and  the  vocals  of  Lou 
Gramm  through  "Cold  as  Ice", 
"Feels  like  the  First  Time"  and 
"Headknockers". 

In  the  winter,  O.U.  students 
got  a  taste  of  sounds  other  than 


The  Jeff  Lorber  Fusion,  sponsored  by  the  Center  Program  Board,  provided  a  refreshing  blend  of  jazz  -  rock. 


rock  W  roll.  A  jazz-rock  band,  the 
Jeff  Lorber  Fusion,  sizzled  the 
Baker  Center  Ballroom  in  early 
January,  and  a  funk  band,  the 
Bar-Kays  shook  Memorial  Auditor- 
ium. 

Soon  after  the  Bar-Kays,  a 
lesser-known  rock  'n'  roll  band,  Off 
Broadway,  played  before  a  disap- 
pointingly small  crowd  in  the 
Baker  Center  Ballroom. 

Part  of  the  reason  that  smaller 
bands  were  brought  to  town  in  the 
winter  was  financial.  But  a  major 
change  in  concert  seating  policy 
threw  things  into  confusion  for 
most  of  the  quarter,  forcing  the 
PCC,  the  Center  Program  Board, 
and  the  Black  Cultural  Program- 
ming Board  to  book  smaller  acts. 

In  an  effort  to  better  the  safety 


and  control  crowd  problems,  Carol 
Harter,  vice  president  and  dean  of 
students,  sought  a  concert  policy 
that  would  limit  seating  in  the 
Convo  to  approximately  9,600, 
Also,  the  proposal  recommended 
a  limit  of  2,300  on  tickets  to  be  sold 
at  outlets  beyond  a  50-mile  radius, 
and  an  increase  in  security  and 
parking  personnel. 

PCC  chairman  Mark  Litton 
voiced  his  disapproval  over  the 
new  plan. 

"I  personally  feel  the  proposal 
is  a  mistake.  It  may  not  completely 
shut  off  all  concerts  here,  but  it  will 
decrease  the  amount  of  top  acts 
that  the  committee  would  want  to 
bring  here,"  he  said.  "The  concert 
situation  here  does  not  look  too 
bright."

The  Bar-Kays  war*  on*  of  several  smaller  act*  that  began  coming  to  Ohio  University  in  the  winter. 


The  theater  department  opened  the  tall  with  Lanlord  Wilton's  The  Mound  Builders. 


"We're  in  the  process  of 
building  so  many  things,"  said 
Robert  Winters,  director  of  the 
School  of  Theater.  "We're  provid- 
ing something  for  the  entire  state, 
particularly  for  southeastern 
Ohio." 

Though  the  productions  are 
funded  solely  by  the  box  office 
income,  the  theater  still  manages 
to  put  on  three  major  plays  each 
quarter.  Besides  that,  the  depart- 
ment has  expanded  its  touring, 
begun  last  year,  to  two  quarters 
instead  of  one. 

"It's  hard  to  place  one  play 
above  the  others,"  Winters  said.  "I 
think  it's  a  success  that  we  get  on 
as  many  productions  as  we  do. 
That  so  many  get  the  opportunity 
to  act,  direct,  design  or  crew  is 
fantastic." 


Winters  cited  one  quarter 
when  260  students  got  to  act  in  or 
crew  a  production.  That  exper- 
ience contributes  to  the  success  of 
the  school  this  year  in  placing  18 
students  in  internships  to  pres- 
tigious acting  companies  across 
the  country  and  in  finding  jobs 
when  they  graduate. 

"We  had  pretty  good  atten- 
dance this  year,"  Winter  said.  "But 
we  aren't  doing  well  enough.  We 
need  to  work  harder  to  make 
contact  with  students  at  Ohio 
University  who  don't  have  any 
tradition  or  training  in  the  arts. 
They  get  to  the  movies  and  the 
bars  but  I'd  like  to  see  them  go  to 
dance  concerts  and  films  as  well 
as  all  this.  It's  no  good  to  say  they 
ought  to  know  better." 

In  an  attempt  to  expose  more

students  to  theater,  the  school 
brought  two  pieces  from  the 
comedy  festival  into  the  dorms. 

"There  is  an  interest  there," 
Winters  said.  "I  saw  seven  or  eight 
students  grow  into  a  crowd  of  30  or 
40  —  just  from  people  stopping  in 
and  staying." 

"If  more  people  came,  more 
poeple  would  keep  coming,"  said 
actor  Ken  Bright.  "Live  theater  is  a 
tremendous  experience.  There's 
nothing  like  it." 

The  touring  group,  Stage  III, 
spreads  theater  throughout  the 
state.  The  self-contained  company 
performs  and  sponsors  workshops 
for  high  schools,  community 
colleges,  universities  and 
community  groups  from  Toledo  to 
Ironton. 

Only  third-year,  third-quarter 
graduate  students  tour  with  Stage 


III.  Most  members  are  older  and 
have  had  professional  internships 
with  acting  companies.  That 
brings  a  certain  maturity  to  the 
groups.  They  follow  a  rigorous 
schedule  that  includes  produc- 
tions or  workshops,  morning, 
afternoon  and  evening. 

In  advance,  they  learn  what 
the  schools  need  and  then  deliver. 
"Otherwise,  you've  superimposed 
art  on  the  school's  curriculum," 
explained  Kenneth  Frisch,  Stage 
III  resource  coordinator.  "We  want 
it  to  be  a  different  kind  of 
experience." 

Stage   III   exemplifies   the 
principle  of  the  whole  theater 
department  —  learn  by  doing.  | 
"How  can   you   find  out  about  I 
touring  unless  you  tour?"  Frisch  -;, 
asked.  a

With  the  Athena  Theater  tripling,  mora  firat-run  movies  can  be  seen  in  Athena. 


The  movies  finally  came  to 
Athens,  and  offered  students  brief 
escapes  into  the  worlds  of  fantasy, 
comedy,  or  mystery.  We  remem- 
bered Bergman  and  Bogart  on  that 
foggy  runway  in  Morocco, 
travelled  to  Fellini's  decadent 
Rome,  and  followed  Keaton  and 
Allen  into  the  future,  the  past, 
Czarist  Russia  and  several  Man- 
hattan restaurants. 

This  year  was  one  of  the  best 
for  movie-goers,  bringing  an 
abundance  of  fine  films  from  the 
Athens  Film  Society,  MIA,  and  the 
Frontier    Room    at   inexpensive 


prices  all  during  the  week. 

The  Athens  Film  Society, 
funded  partly  by  the  National 
Endowment  for  the  Arts,  featured 
both  Classic  American  and  foreign 
films  on  weekends,  in  Seigfred 
Auditorium. 

Among  the  best  of  the  60  films 
they  showed  during  the  year  were 
"The  Godfather",  "Lost  Horizon", 
"The  Man  Who  Fell  to  Earth", 
which  was  based  on  the  book  by 
O.U.  English  professor  Walter 
Tevis  and  starred  David  Bowie, 
"Days  of  Heaven",  and  Fellini's  "La 
Dolce  Vita"  and  "Satyricon."  AFS 


Although  Memorial  Auditorium  stopped 
showing  movies  because  ol  poor  projectors 
and  lack  of  attendance,  Seigfred  Auditor- 
ium still  shows  films. 

also  featured   films   by   great 
odirectors   such   as   Hitchcock, 
Bergman  and  Bunuel  and  actors 
like  Chaplin  and  Garbo. 

However,  their  biggest 
success  came  not  with  major  stars 
or  Oscar-winning  films  but  with 
pornography.  "Emmanuelle  II"  and 
"The  Opening  of  Misty  Beethoven" 
were  so  popular,  in  fact,  that  all 
four  showings  for  each  movie  were 
sold  out  and  students  were  still 
being  turned  away. 

MIA,  funded  by  the  Student 
Activities  Commission,  offered  a 
different  choice  of  recent  movies 


on  Thursday  nights  in  Memorial 
Auditorium.  Among  them  were 
"The  Goodbye  Girl",  "Marathon 
Man",  Woody  Allen's  "Love  and 
Death"  and  "Deliverance". 

But  after  losses  on  eight  films, 
the  MIA  decided  to  stop  program- 
ming for  winter  and  spring 
quarters.  The  reasons,  they  said, 
were  poor  attendance  due  to  film 
competition  on  campus,  no  pub- 
licity, outdated  movie  projectors 
and  a  lack  of  funds. 

The  Frontier  Room  continued 
to  draw  large  crowds  in  their 
fourth  year  of  showing  free  films 


on  Tuesday  nights.  Although 
seating  was  limited  and  the  screen 
could  not  be  seen  by  some,  the  bar 
was  usually  packed  at  each  film. 
Cheap  beer  and  free  popcorn 
helped. 

Among  the  many  good  films 
they  featured  were  "Rocky",  "One 
Flew  Over  the  Cuckoo's  Nest," 
"Cassablanca".  At  least  seven 
Woody  Allen  films  were  shown  in 
Athens  during  the  year,  and  the 
Frontier  Room  supplied  three  of 
'jthem:  "Sleeper",  "Bananas",  and 
"Annie  Hall".  The  Frontier  Room 
also  brought  two  Peter  Sellers' 
Inspector  Clouseau  films:  "The 
Pink  Panther"  and  "A  Shot  in  the 
Dark". 


Meanwhile,  students  still 
flocked  uptown  to  see  flicks  at  the 
Varsity  and  renovated  Athena 
theaters.  The  Athena  divided  its 
seating  area  up  and  split  into  three 
theaters.  Though  the  $3  and  $3.50 
tickets  were  expensive  compared 
to  those  of  the  campus  film 
groups,  the  uptown  theater's  had 
no  problem  bringing  students  in 
with  films  like  "The  Electric 
Horseman",  "Star  Trek:  The 
Motion  Picture",  "Kramer  vs. 
Kramer",  "The  Muppet  Movie", 
"The  Jerk",  and  other  first-run 


movies.

The  K-Tels  bring  a  new  wave  of  rock  W  roll  to  the  Frontier  Room. 


Athens  is  fertile  ground  for 
musical  talent,  and  each  season  a 
new  crop  of  bands  springs  up. 

The  variety  of  sound  is  end- 
less —  new  wave,  country  rock, 
acoustic,  electric  jazz  fusion  —  the 
list  goes  on. 

Patrons  pack  Swanky's  and 
the  Frontier  Room  weekly  to  hear 
such  groups  as  Hot  Cakes,  Cold- 
fish,  Close  Enough  for  Jazz,  Tang- 
ent and  Contraband. 

Frontier  Room  manager  Terry 
Hogan   pointed   out   that   Athens 


offers  a  good  environment  for  a 
young  group  to  get  started,  but  is 
inadequate  if  a  band  aspires  to  the 
big  time. 

"It  all  depends  on  the  profes- 
sional goals  of  a  particular  group," 
he  said.  "If  they  want  to  break  into 
music  full  time  and  want  to  go 
national,  no,  it's  not  a  good  place." 

Hogan  cited  the  fact  that  few 
Athens  bars  are  large  enough  to 
handle  live  entertainment. 

Many  local  bands,  such  as 
Khaki   Sweatband,  Tangent  and 


the  K-Tels  comprise  primarily  OU 
students. 

"We  do  our  best  to  work  with  | 
students,"  Hogan  said,  but  added  | 
quickly  that  few  student  groups  £ 
are  good  enough  for  weekend  I 
appearances. 

According  to  Hogan,  student 
bands  come  and  go  frequently, 
perhaps  breaking  up  after  only  a 
few  months.  But  as  one  group  dies, 
another  forms  to  take  its  place.

Nick  Prokas,  "Mr.  SourHaki,"  caters  to  the  late  -  night  crowd. 


For  the  serious  connoisseur  of 
late  night  munching,  uptown 
Athens  is  unparalleled. 

As  the  masses  stumble  from 
the  various  Court  Street  watering 
holes  they  find  a  myriad  of  friendly 
establishments  where  they  can 
contentedly  stuff  their  faces. 

For  those  inclined  to  the  usual 
fare  of  subs  and  pizza,  Angelo's 
Hole  in  the  Wall,  The  Eatery,  Pizza 
House  and  Souflaki's  are  some  of 
the  more  popular  spots. 

A  few  will  welcome  nocturnal 


gluttons  as  late  as  4:00  a.m. 

Those  with  tastes  a  bit  more 
ethnic  can  find  acceptable  cuisine 
at  such  places  as  Casa  Que  Pasa, 
Dolen's,  Hop  Sing's  or  Chiccalini's 
Pasta  Palace. 

Athens  after  dark  is  a  fertile 
market  for  the  enterprising  res- 
tauranteur,  and  provides  a  wide 
range  of  selection  for  those  who 
genuinely  love  to  eat. 

Whatever  mixture  of  foods  and 
atmosphere  that  best  fits  your 
liking,  you  can  find  it  here. 


A   relaxed   and   homey  atmosphere  greets  patrons  ot  Mom's 
Coffeehouse. 


Students  have  their  choice  when  it  comes  to  pizza;  the  Pizza  House 
is  just  one  ot  many. 


Whether  it's  a  sandwich  or  a  cookie,  CJ's  is  the  place  to  go. 


The  action  may  be  alow  but  competition  geta  fierce  in  dormitory  backgammon  tournamenta. 


In  conforming  with  Ohio 
University's  reputation  as  a  party 
school,  most  students  seem 
magnetically  drawn  uptown  on 
weekend  nights  to  drink  and 
socialize  in  crowded  bars,  or  have 
parties  in  dorms  or  apartments. 

But  not  everyone  fits  into  this 
mold.  Of  those  that  do,  most  get 
tired  of  the  uptown  crowds  at 
some  time  or  other.  There  are  also 
weekends  when  some  don't  have 
the  money,  especially  toward  the 
end  of  the  quarters. 

There  are  a  wide  range  of 
activities  for  times  like  these. 
While  the- vast  majority  of  people 
are  gone,  some  choose  to  do  the 
more  mundane  chores  of  everyday 
life.  "I  always  do  my  laundry  on 
Friday  nights,"  one  girl  said.  "It's 


the  only  time  there  isn't  a  line  for 
the  washers."  Writing  letters, 
typing  overdue  reports,  and  other 
business  can  best  be  caught  up  on 
when  school  work  is  not  pressing. 

"It's  not  exciting,  but  it's 
practical,"  shrugged  one  junior. 
Some  people  even  study  on  the 
weekends.  "The  library  is  so  quiet 
on  Friday  and  Saturday  night,"  one 
junior  said.  "That's  when  I  get 
most  of  my  work  done." 

If  noise  from  the  party  next 
door  doesn't  bother  you,  the 
weekend  is  a  good  time  to  catch 
up  on  sleep.  "When  I  get  back  from 
classes  on  Friday,  I'm  too  tired  to 
party,"  a  freshman  admitted.  "I 
usually  go  to  bed  by  11:00." 

Contrary  to  popular  belief,  it  is 
possible   to  have  a   good   time 


without  going  to  parties  or  bars. 
Many  people  order  pizza  or  subs 
and  have  a  few  friends  over  to  play  f 
monopoly     or     backgammon.  | 
Especially  popular  in  dorms  are  | 
late  night  gossip  sessions  which  3 
may  cover  every  subject  from 
school  to  sex.  Die-hard  television 
addicts,  in  front  of  the  set  even  on 
Friday  or  Saturday  nights,  are 
joined  by  those  looking  for  a  good 
movie. 

If  you're  really  bored  on  Friday 
night,  you  can  always  alphabetize  W 
your  records,  water  plants,  or  V 
clean  your  room.  For  a  severe  case  |> 
of  the  stuck-in-Athens  blues,  one    i 
junior  suggests  "I  get  out  a  map 
and  find  all  the  other  places  but 
Athens  I'd  rather  be."

On  most  weeknights,  Memor- 
ial Auditorium  remains  dark  and 
empty,  with  only  a  few  students 
sitting  and  talking  on  the  front 
steps.  But  on  the  evenings  that  the 
Ohio  University  Artist  Series 
performs,  Memorial  Auditorium  is 
ablaze  with  lights  as  students 
dressed  in  jeans  and  couples  in 
tuxedos  and  evening  gowns  enter 
the  doors  to  watch  that  night's 
entertainment. 

The  OU  Artist  Series  opened 
the  season  with  "Eubie!"  on  Oct. 7. 
The  Musical,  a  revue  of  composer 
Eubie  Blake's  hits  from  the  '20's, 
played  to  a  near-capacity  crowd. 
The  performers  sang,  danced  and 
acted  out  such  numbers  as  "Daddy" 


and  "If  You've  Never  Been  Vamped 
by  a  Brownskin,  You've  Never  Been 
Vamped  At  All."  Only  some 
technical  problems  with  the  sound 
prevented  the  audience  from 
enjoying  the  show  completely. 

On  October  18,  performers  of 
the  Moscow  Pops  including  the 
Nakrasov  Russian  Folk  Orchestra, 
along  with  members  of  the  Bolshovi 
Opera  and  the  Kiev  Ballet,  played 
folk  songs  and  waltzes,  such  as  the 
"Danube  Waltz"  and  "Hey,  Merry 
Ladies".  One  of  the  performers, 
Vladislav  Piavko,  threw  kisses  to  the 
audience  and  singled  out  special 
women  to  sing  to.  A  fire  alarm  that 
went  off  during  the  performance 
disturbed  the  audience  but  not  the

performers  as  they  played  on  and 
received  a  standing  ovation. 

Ruth  Laredo,  a  pianist,  played 
pieces  by  Ravel  and  Chopin  for  a 
very  sparse  audience  on  Nov.  1. 
"The  Flight  of  the  Bumblebee"  by 
Rimski-Korsakov-Rachmaninoff 
received  the  most  enthusiastic 
response  from  the  audience.  The 
OU  Symphony  Orchestra  ac- 
companied Laredo  for  the  second 
half  of  the  show. 

A  fly,  a  monkey  and  a  rabbit 
were  all  depicted  November  9  by  a 
mime  group,  Mummenshcanz, 
featuring  Mark  Olsen,  Claudia 
Weiss  and  Mark  Thompson.  Based 
in  part  upon  the  ancient  Swiss 
theater  tradition  of  "The  Masks", 


the  group  derives  its  name  from  the 
German  "mummen"  meaning 
game  and  "schanz"  meaning 
chance.  The  packed  audience, 
including  many  children,  laughed 
and  clapped  as  performers  used 
rolls  of  toilet  paper,  clay  and  yarn  to 
portray  emotions.  During  intermis- 
sion the  group  mingled  with  the 
audience,  to  the  delight  of  the 
children. 

Also  appearing  during  the 
Artist  Series  were  the  Sam  Rivers 
Orchestra,  Patrice  McBride  and 
)ean-Peirre  Bonnefous,  the  Osaka 
Philharmonic,  and  the  Don  Redlick 
Dance  Company.

There  was  no  shortage  of 
outside  ideas  flowing  into  Athens, 
as  the  Kennedy  Lecture  Series,  the 
Student  Lecture  Series  and  various 
other  campus  organizations 
brought  in  a  dozen  major  speakers 
during  the  fall  and  winter. 

Perhaps  the  best-known 
speaker  was  Ralph  Nader  who,  on 
January  15,  called  for  students  to 
become  effective  citizens.  His 
speech  stressed  consumer  activism 
as  it  covered  a  wide  range  of  topics, 
ranging  from  college  and  education 
reform  —  "I'm  proposing  a  differ- 
ent theme  for  education,  that  of 
civic  training,"  he  said  —  to  the 
contamination  of  drinking  water  — 
"Chemical  waste  studies  prove  it's 
in  every  state,  not  just  at  Love 
Canal,"  he  said. 

A  similar   call   for   action   was 


made  by  Barry  Commoner,  who 
spoke  February  29.  Commoner, 
who  is  running  for  president  under 
a  newly  formed  Citizen's  Party, 
stressed  the  importance  of  chang- 
ing America  from  a  country  that  is 
controlled  by  government  and 
corporations  to  one  that  is  con- 
trolled by  citizens. 

Activist-Comedian  Dick 
Gregory  also  called  for  students  to 
wake  up  and  become  involved,  in 
his  February  3  speech,  as  did  civil 
rights  activist  William  Kunstler,  two 
weeks  later.  "I  understand  that  on 
Halloween  and  the  last  weekend  in 
spring  you  go  mad,"  Kunstler  said. 
"I  suggest  this  year  you  give  that 
some  political  direction;  convert  it 
into  an  anti-registration  rally  —  not 
a  riot,  but  a  dignified  protest." 

Kunstler  was  one  of  a  number 


of  speakers  that  the  Kennedy 
Lecture  Series  co-sponsored  with 
various  departments  and  schools  at 
Ohio  University. 

Other  speakers  included  film 
composer  Jerry  Fielding;  Anthony 
Bouza,  a  former  deputy  chief  of  the 
New  York  police  department;  Lyle 
Denniston,  a  Supreme  Court 
reporter  for  the  Washington  Star; 
Randall  Robinson,  head  of  Trans- 
Africa,  a  black  lobbying  organiza- 
tion; John  Stockwell,  an  ex-CIA 
agent  and  the  author  of  a  CIA 
expose,  Inside  the  CIA;  James  H. 
Street,  an  authority  of  the  world 
food  problem  and  Latin  American 
economics;  Melinda  Liu,  the 
newly-appointed  bureau  chief  of 
Peking  for  Newsweek;  and  Robert 
Madden,  a  photographer  for 
National  Geographic. 


176 


Far  Left  —  Jamas  Street 
warned  that  the  United 
States  must  aide  Latin 
America  in  developing 
food  production,  and 
soon. 

Left  —  Melinda  Liu  dis- 
cussed the  new  U.S.  rela- 
tions with  China  and  her 
responsibilities  as  a  corre- 
spondent in  Peking.

Far  Right  —  Barry  Commoner  made  his  first  speech  as  a  presidential 
candidate  February  29,  in  Memorial  Auditorium.

with  National  Geographic. 

Above  —  Ralph  Nader  lashed  out  at  Congressman  Clarence  Miller, 
President  Jimmy  Carter,  college  admissions  tests,  and  —  as  usual  — 
big  business.

The  Hillel  Foundation  on  Mill 
Street  is  the  center  for  Jewish 
activities  in  Athens.  There,  students 
can  socialize  with  culturally  similar 
peers. 

"If  a  student  wants  any  type  of 
thing  to  happen  here,  it  can,"  said 
Marty  Cohen,  chairperson  of  the 
student  board.  "All  that's  involved 
is  a  little  initiative." 

The  Hillel  Student  Advisory 
Board,  meets  three  times  per 
quarter  to  plan  group  activities, 
such  as  the  Fat  Sandwich  Coffee 
House,  or  lox  and  bagels  brunches. 


Other  activities  include  discussions 
ranging  from  the  Jewish  Views  of 
Jesus,  to  nuclear  energy,  Biblical 
literature  or  Israel. 

The  social  activities  attract 
many  non-Jewish  people.  "It's 
overtly  Jewish, "Rabbi  Rieser  said, 
"but  that  doesn't  mean  it's  just  for 
Jews.  Anything  we  do  is  open  to 
anybody." 

Last  spring,  the  Hillel  House 
"adopted"  a  Soviet  Jewish  family, 
Vladimir  and  Karmella  Raiz.  They 
keep  in  contact  and  hope  that  their 
concern  will  safeguard  the  family 


from  abuse. 

Discrimination  does  not  end  at 
the  Russian  border,  though.  A 
Sukka,  or  shelter  commemorating 
the  holiday  of  Sukkot  and  Soviet 
Jews,  was  erected  by  Hillel 
members  on  the  College  Green, 
but  it  was  knocked  down  and  slit 
with  a  knife.  Earlier,  a  Hillel  banner 
was  burned  at  the  College  Gate.      s 

For  an  organization  that  offers  f 
so  much  to  so  many  such  vandalism  £ 
seems  unfortunate  indeed.  o

Left  -  Understanding  is  part 
of  what  Hillel  is  all  about.

Many  black  students  coming  to  Athens  experience  a  cultural 
shock.  But  organizations  like  the  Center  tor  Afro-American 
Affairs  have  overcome  barriers  like  the  university's  refusal 
to  recognize  Martin  Luther  King  Day  as  a  holiday,  to  keep 
0  U   Irom  being  totally  dry  of  black  culture.

Athens  is  extremely  limited  in 
the  area  of  providing  satisfactory 
evening  recreation  and  entertain- 
ment for  the  black  students  who 
attend  Ohio  University. 

A  majority  of  the  black  student 
population  coming  from  large  city 
or  suburban  areas  confront  a 
cultural  shock  in  Athens. 

Uptown  Athens  comes  fully 
equipped  with  15  bars,  three  pizza 
places,  two  movie  houses,  numer- 
ous other  eating  areas  and  several 
arcades  to  occupy  an  individual's 
time  on  a  Friday  or  Saturday 
evening.  Of  course  if  one  isn't 
turned  on  by  slugging  down  beers 
'til  2  a.m.,  eating  pizzas  and  subs, 
wasting  quarter  after  quarter  to 
bruise  your  hips  on  a  pinball 
machine  or  just  can't  afford  $7.00  to 
take  your  lady  to  the  movies,  then 
uptown  Athens  turns  into  a  real 
drag. 


Most  of  the  black  students  just 
don't  get  into  listening  to  the  Frog 
Whompers  croon  and  whoop  at 
Mr.  Bojangles  or  the  Frontier 
Room.  The  long  lines  for  the  Cat's 
Den  and  The  Phase  I  just  aren't 
worth  it  to  listen  to  average  rock  or 
pop  pour  from  the  jukebox. 

Occasionally  a  few  black 
students  will  make  it  uptown  to 
Mug  and  Margarita's  for  a  drink  or 
two  amidst  the  closest  thing  to  a 
disco  atmosphere.  Or  they'll  spend 
a  Wednesday  afternoon  at  happy 
hours  at  Swanky's  or  the  evening 
there  on  soul  night. 

Blacks  create  for  themselves  an 
atmosphere  which  they  are  more 
familiar  with  and  therefore  can 
relate  to  better.  Ohio  University's 
black  student  population  finds 
deejayed  dances  at  Lindley  Student 
Center  more  like  their  idea  of  a  well 
spent   evening.    These   dances  are 


usually  given  by  the  black  Greek 
organizations  and  students  are 
charged  50  cents  to  dance  and  to 
enjoy  all  the  latest  soulful,  discoand 
jazz  recordings. 

Every  now  and  then  a  Creek 
organization  will  give  a  ball.  They 
are  often  held  at  the  Armory.  On 
the  nights  when  there  are  no 
dances,  there  are  other  affairs  such 
as  lectures  at  Memorial  Auditor- 
ium, variety  shows  and  movies  at 
Morton  Hall  which  occupy  blacks 
on  campus. 

No,  the  majority  of  the  black 
students  don't  head  uptown  on 
Friday  and  Saturday  nights  but 
instead  keep  a  low  profile  at 
Lindley.  Black  students  seem  to 
include  more  dancing  and  singing  § 
and  less  alcohol  in  their  notion  of  * 
partying.  I

Many  University  students  take 
advantage  of  the  cultural  folklore 
experiences  in  this  area.  Whether 
it's  listening  to  a  favorite  bluegrass 
band  pickin'  to  its  heart's  content, 
or  a  walk  around  the  trails  at 
Strouds  Run  State  Park,  many 
students  can  see  and  experience 
the  culture  and  beauty  of  the 
region. 

Students  can  also  learn  more 
about  this  area  in  the  classroom. 
Sociology  of  Appalachia,  Politics  of 
Appalachia,  Geography  of  Appala- 
chia and.  during  the  1980  Winter 
Quarter,  A  Media  Survey  of  Athens 
County  all  provide  insight  into  the 


people  and  lifestyles  in  Appalachia. 

Although  there  is  still  interest 
in  courses  on  Appalachia,  Associate 
Professor  of  Sociology  Bruce  Kuhre 
said  that  it  isn't  as  popular  as  it  was 
four  or  five  years  ago.  Kuhre,  who 
taught  Sociology  of  Appalachia  for 
eight  years  and  co-edited  the 
textbook  used  in  the  course,  said 
past  students  took  a  "romantic" 
approach  to  Appalachia  and  the 
rural  areas.  Some  thought  that 
country  living  would  be  easier  but 
they  later  became  disgruntled. 

"Today,  students  are  much 
more  concerned  with  being  able  to 
compete    with    others    in    the    job 


market,"  he  said.  "It  (Sociology  of 
Appalachia  course)  doesn't  have 
the  romantic  attachment  it  did  four 
or  five  years  ago.  Students  who  are 
taking  it  now  are  more  realistic." 

Kuhre  is  working  with 
sociology  associate  professors 
Bruce  Ergood  and  Cirard  Krebs  to 
establish  a  certification  in  Appala- 
chian Studies  curriculum.  Although 
nothing  is  specific,  Kuhre  said  the 
interested  student  would  have  a 
regular  major  and  also  study 
courses  dealing  with  Appalachia 
before  receiving  the  certificate.

Far  Left  -  The  life  of  Athens  County  farmers  often  reflects 

characteristics   associated   with   Appalachia,   including 

self-sufficiency. 

Right   -   A   less   complicated   lifestyle,  one   that   involves 

producing  your  own  food,  is  not  necessarily  an  easier  one.

Looking  into  the  hills  of  Athens 
county  a  student  can  be  tempted  to 
think,  "forget  the  rat  race,  I'm  going 
to  get  lost  in  those  hills  and  settle 
down!" 

Some  people  do.  The  Sun- 
flower farm,  located  about  three 
miles  from  Amesville,  is  a  commune 
of  such  people,  but  probably  not 
your  typical  commune.  "Most 
communities  are  formed  around 
one  ideology,"  said  resident  John 
Schmieding.  "The  most  striking 
thing  about  this  community  is  its 
diversity." 

The  Sunflower  "community" 
began  about  four  years  ago  when 
100    acres    was    bought    for    the 


purpose  of  establishing  a  commu- 
nity arrangement.  Currently,  there 
are  75  acre  plots  taken  and  the 
community  will  stop  growing  when 
it  adds  three  more  homesteaders. 
The  remaining  22  acres  belongs  to 
everyone  who  lives  on  the  farm. 

Most  people  think  of  com- 
mune residents  as  ones  who  strive 
for  total  self-sufficiency  from 
society.  At  the  Sunflower  farm 
that's  not  necessarily  the  case. 
"Self-sufficiency  is  not  a  goal,"  said 
Schmieding.  However,  several 
residents  don't  have  conventional 
electricity  in  their  homes.  Instead, 
some  run  their  houses  off  of 
batteries. 


Community  members  hold 
periodic  meetings  to  discuss  their 
business  and  arrange  work 
schedules  to  get  things  done 
around  the  farm.  All  proposals  are 
settled  through  consensus  rather 
than  a  majority  vote.  For  example,  if 
one  member  disagrees  with  a 
proposal,  a  compromise  is  attempt- 
ed. 

Garry  Penswick  said  the 
community  living  concept  at  the 
Sunflower  farm  works  well  because 
everyone  has  his  own  plot  of  land 
where  they  can  do  what  they  want 
"It's  like  one  big  neighborhood," 
he  said. 


Long  hours  of  practice  are 
not  work,  but  pleasure  for 
Marcia  Hall. 


To  say  someone  is  a  fine 
violinist  bespeaks  one  thing  above 
all  —  dedication.  For  Marcia  Hall, 
playing  her  violin  50  hours  a  week 
in  addition  to  attending  classes  is 
not  at  all  unusual.  That  is  in  addition 
to  attending  classes  in  conducting, 
music  history  and  completing 
bothersome  general  requirements. 

But  for  Hall,  practice  is  not  a 
chore,  it's  a  delight.  "Oh,  sure, 
there  are  frustrations  and  moments 


when  I  want  to  put  it  away  and  not 
even  think  about  music,"  she  says, 
"But  more  often  than  not  I  am 
carried  away  by  the  music  and  the 
technique  —  the  time  just  flies." 

Hall,  a  very  active  musician, 
played  first-chair  violin  while  acting 
as  concert  mistress  in  the  O.U. 
Symphony  for  the  opera  "Don 
Giovanni,"  and  has  performed 
frequently  with  the  Springfield 
Symphony    Orchestra    and    the 


Huntington  Chamber  Orchestra. 
Despite  these  impressive  begin- 
nings, Hall's  primary  objective  is  not 
to  perform  in  front  of  tuxedoed 
men  and  fur-wrapped  women  in 
great  concert  halls.  "People  look 
down  on  lesser-known  groups,  but 
if  I  enjoyed  playing  with  them  and 
felt  that  I  was  accomplishing 
something  musically  by  being 
there,  I'd  prefer  it  to  a  stuffy 
position  in  Cleveland  or  Boston."

Jazz  One's  improvisational 
skills  grow  out  of  dedication  as 
much  as  talent. 


It  seems  as  if  everywhere  the 
Jazz  Ensembles  played,  there  was 
always  a  large  and  enthusiastic 
crowd  to  accompany  them. 

Jazz  Ensembles  One  and  Two 
and  now  newly-formed  Jazz  Three 
perform.  Although  not  many 
numbers  from  the  so-called  "Big 
Band  Era"  are  played,  a  jazz 
enthusiast  could  acknowledge  the 
fact  that  much  of  modern  jazz  still 
contains  a  bit  of  that  old  brassy 
style. 


"It's  easier  to  relate  to  the 
audience  with  modern  jazz,"  said 
Ernie  Bastin,  associate  professor  of 
brass  instruments  and  director  of 
Jazz  One.  "And  there  is  just  so 
much  material  to  be  covered,  so  we 
don't  do  the  old  stuff." 

Jazz  Three  was  formed  this  year 
in  order  to  give  students  more 
contact  with  jazz,  Bastin  said,  and 
also  because  the  students  who  are 
music  education  majors  will  have  to 
teach  jazz  some  day. 


"Being  in  the  jazz  ensembles  is 
the  only  way  they  can  practice 
jazz,"  Bastin  said. 

Jazz  One  contains  more  ad- 
vanced players;  however,  as  Bastin 
said,  Jazz  Two  has  vastly  improved 
since  last  year.  Jazz  Three  is 
definitely  on  its  way  up,  and  who 
knows,  maybe  within  the  next  few 
years,  OU  will  have  a  Jazz  Four  that 
it  can  be  as  proud  of  as  it  is  of  One, 
Two,  and  Three.

One  of  Ohio  University's  more 
promising  painters  is  Charles 
Bensman. 


a. 


Qjdmty  tk  Hik  c|  Mm 


The  landscape,  the  small  town, 
the  comfortable  community  all 
come  together  to  make  Athens  the 
perfect  setting  for  a  painter.  Or  at 
least  for  Charles  Bensman,  a  senior 
in  the  School  of  Art. 

"I  loved  the  landscape  around 
Athens  and  Ohio  University  had  a 
good  reputation  for  art,"  Bensman 
said.  "OU  is  the  only  help  I've 
gotten  as  far  as  painting  goes.  I've 
had  my  ups  and  downs  but  kept 
trying." 


Bensman  paints  mostly  lands- 
capes; his  style,  as  he  describes  it,  is 
"naturalistic,  realism."  His  paintings 
reflect  his  fondness  for  Athens 
scenery. 

"I've  only  gotten  as  far  as  I  have 
within  the  last  year,"  he  said.  "For 
three  years  I  stumbled  around, 
making  mistakes.  But  the  faculty  is 
excellent  at  OU.  And  I  have  to  be 
sharp  enough  to  catch  my  mistakes 
and  refine  my  painting." 

With    a    lot    of    luck    Bensman 


hopes  to  become  an  independent 
painter  after  graduate  school. 
Gallery  showings  throughout  the 
state  would  make  Bensman  known. 
If  a  certain  gallery  liked  his  work 
and  style,  he  could  begin  painting 
exclusively  for  that  gallery. 

Independent   painting    is   not 
the    only    alternative    open    to 
Bensman.   "I   would   like   to   be  a 
painting  instructor,"  said  Bensman.    | 
"My   professors  think   I  could  go  8 
into  illustrations."  I

Experimentation  and 
being  unconventional 
are  hallmarks  of 
Charles  Couasnon's 
sculpture. 


vmim 


9n  Scoifag 


To  Charles  Couasnon,  sculpt- 
ing is  the  expression  of  his  in- 
dividual pursuit  of  the  spirtual  side 
of  life. 

"I'm  moving  my  work  towards 
individualism,"  said  Couasnon.  "I 
want  everyone  to  look  towards 
themselves  for  their  spiritual 
comfort  rather  than  to  mass 
organizations  for  religion." 

Couasnon,  a  senior  in  art,  is  a 
transfer  student  to  OU.  The 
facilities  for  sculpting  and  the 
instructors  brought  Couasnon  to 
Athens.    "I    needed    a    change, 


wanted  to  make  a  move.  I  came 
here  to  visit  and  liked  what  was 
going  on,"  he  said. 

The  change  in  environment 
improved  his  work,  Couasnon 
admitted.  His  sculpting  lately  has 
been  with  steel  although  he  feels 
the  need  to  experiment  with  a 
variety  of  materials  to  be  comfort- 
able. 

Manipulative  materials  such  as 
stone  and  clay  are  also  a  part  of 
Couasnon's  work.  Icons,  images  and 
spiritual  symbols  direct  his  sculpt- 
ing today. 


"I  think  icons  are  a  locking  part 
of  the  social  structure,"  he  said.  But 
for  Couasnon,  they  become  a  way 
to  express  his  thoughts  of  in- 
dividuality and  religion. 

After  graduation,  Couasnon 
plans  to  continue  sculpting  and 
hopes  to  become  financially  suc- 
cessful one  day.  Teaching  is  also  a 
possibility  in  the  near  future.  But 
whether  teaching  students  or 
working  as  a  sculptor,  he  will  be 
expressing  himself  through  his 
work.

Singing  is  rewarding 
(or  Tayek,  but  it  is  not 
his  prime  concern. 


Mmd  mMMSit 


A  vocal  musician  such  as  Jack 
Tayek  has  the  added  frustration  of 
knowing  that  his  "instrument"  is 
internal.  A  pianist  can  aspire  to  play 
a  Steinway  grand,  a  violinist  can 
yearn  for  a  Stradivarius,  but  a 
vocalist  must  rely  on  his  vocal 
chords  and  physical  technique. 

"There's  a  certain  benefit  to 
that,  though,"  explains  Tayek.  "A 
voice  is  yours  and  no  one  else  has 
made    it    for   you.    What    you   are 


working  with  is  very  personal." 

Practice,  of  course,  makes  that 
ability  more  than  just  a  pastime.  It 
can  be  frustrating.  "I  feel  that 
practice  should  always  be  difficult, 
Tayek  says.  "If  I'm  doing  it  correct- 
ly, I  must  be  working  and  striving  to 
perfect  myself.  That's  often  not 
easy,  but  it  can  be  rewarding." 

Tayek,  who  played  the  role  of 
Leporello  in  the  opera  "Don 
Giovanni"    fall    quarter,    readily 


admits  that  opera  is  not  his  great 
goal  in  music.  "I'm  an  educator  first, 
and  I  want  to  have  broad  musical 
interests.  I  enjoy  playing  in  Trom- 
bone Choir.  My  voice  is  not  a 
hobby,  but  it's  not  my  prime 
concern.  I  want  to  teach  people 
how  to  sing,  and  I  want  to  use  my 
voice  to  help  others  learn  to  use  = 
theirs."  I

One  of  the  finest  dancers  at 
Ohio  University,  Terri  Kraft 
believes  her  talent  to  be 
God-given. 


At  in  fitdttwt 


Terri  Kraft,  a  senior  in  the 
School  of  Dance,  has  immediate 
plans  of  going  home  to  Seattle  to  be 
with  her  father. 

But  as  far  as  her  career  goes, 
Kraft  said,  "I'm  not  sure.  A  lot  of 
options  are  open,  in  New  York  or 
other  eastern  states.  I'd  like  to  be 
on  the  west  coast  to  be  near  my 
family  and  my  friends."  She 
continued,  "I  committed  my  life  to 
Christ  two  and  a  half  years  ago,  and 


since  I've  met  the  Lord,  I'm  sure  He 
will  direct  me  in  the  way  I  should 
go.  He's  got  a  place  for  me." 

She  came  to  Ohio  University 
because  she  met  one  of  the 
professors,  Gladys  Bailin,  while  still 
in  High  School  in  Canada  at  a 
workshop.  Kraft  said  that  she  has 
come  to  appreciate  this  area  over 
time,  but  still  loves  the  mountains 
and  the  ocean.  She  said  she  feels  as 
long    as    one    has    peace    within 


oneself,  anywhere   can   be   pretty 
exciting. 

"I  think  I've  been  given  a  gift  in 
dance,  and  have  been  blessed  with 
coordination,"  Kraft  said.  "There 
isn't  room  to  think  you've  made  it 
because  there's  always  someone 
better.  It's  a  tough  field,  so 
self-oriented  and  self-centered. 
The  abilities  I  have  don't  come  from 
me  and  I'm  thankful  for  my  health."

At  just  26,  Connie  Ray  was 
chosen  for  the  cherished 
role  of  Martha  in  "Who's 
Afraid  of  Virginia  Woolf?". 


Connie  Ray  has  been  involved 
in  theater  since  she  was  nine  years 
old  when  she  won  a  state  competi- 
tion with  her  brother  in  North 
Carolina. 

She  come  to  OU  because  of  its 
good  reputation,  good  teachers 
and  internship  program.  The 
internship  program  is  very  impor- 
tant because  it  allows  an  actor  to 
make  important  contacts. 

"I   want   to   do   it    more   than 


anything  else  in  the  world  and  it's  so 
iffy,"  Ray  said.  "There  are  so  many 
out  there  who  are  just  as  good  as 
you  are  —  it's  just  who  you  know." 

The  second  year  graduate 
student  has  already  learned  a  lot  at 
OU.  "Here  you're  emersed  in  it 
(acting)  from  11-5  every  day.  It's 
very  intensive."  Ray  added,  "You 
may  not  know  for  a  couple  years 
just  how  much  you've  learned." 

One    thing   she   learned   from 


her  role  as  Martha,  in  "Who's  Afraid 
of  Virginia  Woolf?"  winter  quarter 
is  that  "People  don't  want  to  see 
you  play  it  safe.  It's  boring  to  see 
someone  do  what  you  could  do." 
In  her  role  as  Martha,  one  of 
the  roles  that  she  says  every  actress 
wants  to  play,  Ray  wore  no  padding 
and  had  to  "scream  like  a  banshee. 
But,  it's  okay  for  you  to  do  it,  'cause 
you're  not  you,"  she  explained.

Ken  Bright  would  even- 
tually like  to  move  into 
television  and  later  direct- 
ing. 


"Live  theater  is  a  tremendous 
experience,"  said  Ken  Bright,  a 
graduate  student  in  theater.  "If 
more  people  came,  more  people 
would  keep  coming.  There's  just 
not  anything  like  it." 

Bright  himself  fell  in  love  with 
theater  after  getting  involved  with  a 
production  of  "The  Diary  of  Ann 
Frank".  He  said"  'Been  doing  it  ever 
since  and  'been  paying  someone 
ever  since  to  be  able  to  keep  doing 
it." 

Except  for  a  stint   in  the  Air 


Force  and  an  internship  with  the 
Cincinnati  Playhouse,  he  has  been 
acting  at  OU.  Bright  graduated  from 
OU  and  returned  here  to  do  his 
graduate  work  because  of  training 
—  from  voice  to  movement  —  and 
because  of  the  scale  and  number  of 
performances. 

"I've  grown  light  years  as  an 
actor  with  Peter  Sander,"  Bright 
said,  citing  his  current  professor's 
relaxed  and  natural  atmosphere. 

Bright  taught  introductory 
classes   to   non-majors   as   well   as 


played  Dr.  Wangel  in  the  winter 
production  of  "The  Lady  from  the 
Sea". 

Although  he  admires  other 
actors,  he  copies  no  one.  "You're 
just  cheating  yourself  out  of  all  the 
discoveries  you  can  make.  Each 
person  brings  something  different 
to  each  role,"  Bright  explained. 
"You  have  to  make  it  real  for 
yourself  in  order  to  make  it  real  for 
others."

Philip  Terman  is  a  creative 
writing  major  who  came  to  Ohio 
University  four  years  ago  from 
South  Euclid,  a  suburb  of  Cleveland, 
because  of  the  nice  scenery. 

"This  atmosphere  seems  to 
breed  artists,  and  poets  are  not  the 
least  among  them,"  Terman  said. 
"Certain  poets  here  are  very  serious 
about  their  work,  sort  of  like  a  life 
and  death  situation.  They've 
formed  a  tight  circle  where  every- 
one helps  each  other  out." 

Terman  would  like  to  be 
remembered  in  the  Norton  Anth- 
ology someday.  Shorter  range  goals

include  graduate  school  and  writing 
a  book  of  poetry. 

Why  poetry?  "Poetry  ex- 
presses the  primal  music  rhythm  of 
an  individual's  nature  as  manifested 
in  collective  consciousness.  Poetry 
is  music,"  said  Terman.  "Everybody 
speaks  music  everyday  in  their 
conversations.  What  a  poem  should 
do  is  direct  itself  towards  the 
essence  of  music."

For  Skip  Gans,  there's  a  whole 
world  of  the  uncommon,  wait- 
ing to  be  captured. 


George  Cans,  a  graduating 
senior  in  photo  art  from  Ramsey, 
N.J.,  is  an  individual  with  an  eye  for 
the  uncommon. 

"I  like  to  photograph  the 
peculiar,  things  that  are  different, 
out  of  the  ordinary,  the  unique." 

Gans,  known  as  Skip  to  most, 
reports  that  he  didn't  become 
seriously  interested  in  photography 
before  coming  to  OU. 


"It  happened  by  accident,  I 
guess.  I  just  kind  of  stumbled  into 
it,"  he  said. 

"I  came  with  a  naive  attitude.  I 
didn't  know  anything  about  it.  I  just 
kind  of  got  into  the  system  and 
determined  for  myself  what  I 
wanted  to  do  —  and  that's  make 
art." 

For  Gans,  "making  art"  often 
requires    discarding    conventional 


formats.  He  does  not  always  use 
35mm  film,  but  instead  utilizes 
"anything  that  suits  the  image." 

Gans    believes    photo   art    is 
difficult  area  to  study  in  academic 
terms,   but   feels   there   are   some  c 
excellent  faculty  members  in  the  | 
department.    He    plans    to    do  % 
graduate  work  in  art  history.

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  no  one  passing 
the  College  Gate  carries  any  money.

"Buy  this!  Sign  that!  Take  one 
of  these!  Would  you  like  to 
contribute?" 

No  event  or  cultural  group  or 
political-activist  club  or  organiza- 
tion would  be  recognized  by 
students  if  its  supporters  didn't 
push  their  wares  at  the  College 
Gate. 

During  the  fall  and  spring  the 
gate  is  flooded  with  people  trying 
to  sell  anything  from  T-shirts  to 
raffle  tickets;  publicize  anything 
from  boxing  matches  to  pantamime 
shows;  push  petitions  for  anything 
from  getting  political  candidates  on 
the    ballot    to    getting    student 


representation  by  state-wide 
organizations;  express  views  on 
anything  from  nuclear  energy  to 
the  spring  riot;  and  collect  money 
for  anything  from  the  American 
Cancer  Society  to  unorthodox 
religious  groups. 

Actually,  only  two  organiza- 
tions are  permitted  to  work  the 
College  Gate  at  a  time.  The 
organizations  have  to  be  sanctioned 
by  the  Student  Life  Programs  office 
or  some  academic  department  and 
must  get  permission  from  that 
office  in  advance  to  be  out  there. 

Regardless  of  which  or  how 
many  organizations  are  working  the 


gate,  they  have  to  hustle  to  get 
students'  attention.  Being  bom- 
barded by  promotions  everytime 
they  walk  onto  the  College  Green, 
students  quickly  build  up  a  resis- 
tance to  the  activities.  They 
become  deaf  to  the  shouts,  blind  to 
the  banners,  broke  to  the  pleas,  and 
more  than  often,  annoyed.  Many 
simply  walk  around  the  gate. 

But  the  T-shirt  sellers,  pamplet 
passers  and  petition  pushers  press 
on,  often  in  the  rain,  often  in 
frustration,  but  usually  in  the  name 
of  a  cause.

Financial  difficulties,  a  new 
location,  new  equipment,  and  the 
coverage  of  several  special  events 
dominated  THE  POST'S  first  year  in 
Baker  Center. 

■The  story  of  THE  POST  this 
year  is  money  or  the  lack  thereof," 
says  Gary  Marshall,  editor  of

magazine  supplement.  To  make  up 
a  510,000  deficit.  Posties  took  to  the 
streets  for  "Dollar  Day,"  selling  the 
last  issue  of  fall  quarter  for  one 
dollar  and  raising  $1900.  Marshall 
blames  the  loss  of  national  advertis- 


ing revenue  for  the  troubled 
financial  situation.  However,  editor 
Jim  Frantz  says  the  deficit  is 
decreasing. 

Despite  the  tight  money  situa- 
tion, THE  POST  pulled  off  several 
stories  that  Frantz  and  managing 
editor  Teri  Krimm  think  are  among 
the  best  stories  of  the  year. 
University  editor  Alan  Adler  agrees, 
saying,  "This  is  what  sets  THE  POST 
apart  from  other  college  papers.  We 
go  where  the  news  is."  This  year

Local  stories  included  coverage 
of  a  train  derailment  in  Millfield  and 
a  shooting  incident  involving  City

The  Halleran  case  put  THE

didn't  want  to  make  a  bad  decision 
for  other  reporters.  I  think  I  did  the 
right  thing." 

The  move  from  Pilcher  House 
has  made  the  staff  more  profession- 
al, according  to  Krimm,  but  long- 
time Posties  like  Marshall  regret  the 
passing  of  the  former  wild  lifestyle. 
"THE  POST  doesn't  raise  hell,"  he 
complains.  "We're  not  outrageous 
anymore." 

But  Adler  thinks  the  move  to 
conservatism  was  necessary. 
"We've  changed  with  the  campus," 
he  says.  "OU  is  not  as  much  of  a 
party  school  as  it  used  to  be.  If  we 
didn't  change,  we  wouldn't  be 
representing  the  students." 

Overall,  THE  POST  is  seen  as  a 
learning  ground,  the  closest  thing  to 
professional  experience  on  a  daily 
paper.  But  the  same  dailiness  that 
makes  THE  POST'S  reputation,  is 
also  responsible  for  its  mistakes, 
says  Frantz,  explaining  that  the  hard 
work  and  long  hours  sap  the  energy 
and  stamina  of  the  staff.

The  Institute  of  Visual 
Communication  is  a  program  that 
combines  the  School  of  Art  and  the 
School  of  Journalism  allowing 
students  to  earn  a  bachelor  or 
science  in  journalism  or  a  bachelor 
of  fine  arts  degree  in  visual 
communication. 

The  program  was  run  exper- 
imentally for  two  years  and  officially 
started  in  September  1978.  Chuck 
Scott,  director,  said,  "It's  been 
successful.  The  program  utilizes 
resources  of  two  colleges."  He 
continued,  "It  gives  students  in 
journalism  a  better  background  in 
art    and    art    students    a    better

background  in  journalism.  It's  a  far 
better  arrangement  then  before.  As 
far  as  we  know  its  the  only  program 
run  this  way." 

The  Institute  sponsors  a  News- 
photo  Conference  for  word-oriented 
newspaper  editors  annually. 

Scott  said  photojournalism  is 
usually  not  taken  seriously,  but  it 
is  taken  serious  at  O.U. 


Scott  said  that  it's  very  impor- 
tant to  be  trained  in  all  aspects  of 
journalism.  Editors  will  no  longer 
tolerate  photographers  who  can't 
write.  "It's  not  enough  to  be  a 
photographer  or  a  reporter.  One 
should  understand  the  whole 
gambit,  graphics,  writing,  and 
photography,"  Scott  said. 


The  number  ol  would-be  photo-journalists  has  skyrocketed.

When  THE  POST  and  the 
Spectrum  GREEN  moved  out  of 
Pilcher  House  last  summer,  most 
people  thought  it  was  the  end  of  an 
era.  And  good  riddance,  they  said. 
The  building  was  generally  thought 
to  be  the  ugliest,  most  run-down 
structure  on  campus.  The  two 
publications  had  been  there  since 
just  1974,  but  when  they  moved  on 


to  Baker  Center,  they  left  a  house 
whose  walls  were  (where  they  were 
still  standing)  plastered  with  graffiti 
("Historic!"  claimed  THE  POST'S 
former  editor  Chris  Celek),  ceilings 
were  falling  in,  furniture  was  torn, 
burned,  broken  and  stolen,  and 
trash,  old  newspapers  and  year- 
books were,  well,  everywhere.  It 
looked  as  if  a  party  had  been  carried 


One  of  O.U.'s  greatest  slums  —  er  . 


landmarks  —  Pilcher  House 


on  there  continuously  for  six  years. 

But  somehow,  people  knew  the 
building  was  something  more  than 
an  eyesore.  In  the  fall  the  university 
announced  it  would  not  tear  the 
house  down  and  put  in  a  parking  lot, 
as  it  had  originally  planned.  The 
house  had  once  been  a  nice  place 
—  nice  enough  to  house  the  offices 
of  the  College  of  Communication.  It 
is  the  only  known  example  of 
Italianate  architecture  in  Athens. 
And  it  had  been  there  since  1880. 
when  the  Pilchers  (or  was  it  the 
Sloans?  or  maybe  the  O'Blenneses? 
or  the  Perkins?  No  one's  quite  sure) 
had  it  built  to  order. 

So  the  university,  which  had 
owned  it  since  about  1968.  decided 
to  have  the  place  declared  a 
national  historic  site.  Then  the 
university  advertised  to  lease  the 
house  for  15  years  to  anyone  willing 
to  restore  it  to  its  original  condition. 

But  that  includes  tearing  down 
the  back  half  of  the  building,  which 
was  added  about  fifty  years  ago, 
and  cleaning  all  the  historic  graffiti 
off  the  walls. 

Pilcher  house  is  staying,  but 
somehow,  it  will  never  be  the  same. 

Goodbye. 

A  fitting  goodbye.

Gladys  Jelks  and  other  students  produce  Athens  only  television  station,  WOUB 


"Gold  prices  skyrocket." 
Student  newscaster  Kent  Kahn  of 
WOUB-TVs  NEWSWATCH  reports 
the  days  events  for  Athens  and 
vicinity  gaining  the  valuable  exper- 
ience needed  to  become  top-rate  in 
the  future. 

Telecommunications  director 
Joseph  Welling  describes  the 
system  of  operations  at  WOUB-TV 
and  radio  AM-FM  as  "staff- 
supervised  and  student-operated." 


WOUB  participates  in  a  press  conference

Students  are  involved  in  all  facets  of 
radio  and  television,  ranging  from 
broadcasting  to  behind-the-scenes 
production.  They  can  also  be 
involved  in  a  work-study  program 
consisting  of  mostly  clerical  workers 
who  are  paid  for  their  efforts. 

For  those  who  want  to  "ham  it 
up"  and  stay  loose,  radio  broad- 
casting provides  students  with  an 
alternative  to  being  in  front  of  a 
nerve  wracking  camera.  "Deejay- 
ing"  on  radio  AM-FM  involves 
knowing  how  to  run  the  equipment 
as   well    as    developing    a    radio 


personality.  Tests  are  required  for 
the  student  to  prove  his  or  her 
abilities. 

The  people  who  work  behind 
the  scenes  in  production  deal 
mostly  with  the  pressure-packed 
situation  of  getting  the  news, 
commercials  and  announcements 
on  the  air.  They  have  to  know  how 
much  time  is  allotted  for  each 
commercial  and  must  cue  in  the 
announcer  so  there  are  no  embar- 
rassing silences  between  spots. 
They  are  also  responsible  for 
putting  several  local  programs  on 


the  air,  such  as  "Music  from  the 
Valley."  a  program  featuring 
bluegrass. 

WOUB-TV  provides  Southeas- 
tern Ohio  with  not  only  education 
programs,  but  also  with  an  OU- 
oriented  news  program.  NEWS- 
WATCH. Students  turn  into  anchor- 
persons  and  residents  come  face- 
to-face  with  possible  future  heirs  to 
Walter  Cronkite's  job.  But  for  now, 
instead  of  saying,  "And  that's  the 
way  it  is  .  .  .",  OU's  rookies  content 
themselves  with,  "And  that's  a  look 
at  NEWSWATCH." 


WOUB-FM  is  broadcast  to  most  ol  southeastern  Ohio  and  features  students  like  Rick  Rogala.

In  1979-80,  OU  students  were 
brought  out  of  their  isolation  in  the 
hills  and  were  retied  to  the  realities 
of  world  news.  Major  international 
crises  came  home  to  Americans 
during  the  year,  and  seemed  to  have 
an  effect  on  everything  else  that 
happened.  In  November  a  group  of 
militant  Iranian  students  stormed 
the  U.S.  embassy  in  Tehran,  and  a 
month  later  the  Soviet  Union 
invaded  the  neighboring  country  of 
Afghanistan. 

From  that  moment,  war  seemed 
to  be  a  very  real  possibility  here,  just 
61/2  years  since  the  American 
people  put  the  horrors  of  the 
Vietnam    War   to    bed.   American 


sentiment  on  war  split,  but  nearly 
everyone  seemed  unified  in  their 
horror  and  anger  over  what  Iran  and 
Russia  were  doing.  Four  months 
later,  50  Americans  were  still  being 
held  hostage  in  Tehran,  and  stories 
of  Russian  atrocities  were  still 
filtering  out  of  Afghanistan. 

So  in  his  State-of-the-Union 
Address  in  January,  President 
Carter  announced  that  he  was 
calling  for  a  re-instatement  of  draft 
registration,  and  the  university 
community  was  stunned  into  cons- 
ciousness. 

And  the  cries  became  political. 
It  was  an  election  year,  and  before 
November,    1979,    Carter   trailed 


Edward  Kennedy  by  a  wide  margin. 
Carter's  firm  stand  against  the 
Iranian  captors  and  Russia  pushed 
him  well  into  the  lead  in  polls,  and 
helped  him  win  early  primaries.  Part 
of  his  hard  stand  against  the 
Russians  included  a  call  for  the 
United  States  to  boycott  the 
Summer  Olympics,  to  be  held  in 
Moscow. 

Ironically,  it  was  the  Winter 
Olympics,  held  in  Lake  Placid,  New 
York,  that  gave  Americans  a  breath 
of  relief  and  a  charge  of  patriotic 
pride.  The  U.S.  hockey  team  went 
into  the  Olympics  inexperienced, 
untested,  unseeded  and  with  no 
hope  of  getting  past  the  Finnish,

Swedish  or  Czech  teams.  Absolutely 
no  one  gave  the  scrappy  Americans, 
led  by  Jim  Craig  and  Mark  Johnson 
a  chance  to  beat  the  Russians. 
When  they  did,  Lake  Placid  was 
pandimonium  and  the  rest  of  the 
country  had  found  the  heroes  it 
needed.  It  was  almost  anticlimactic 
when  the  team  beat  Finland  for  the 
gold  medal,  two  days  later.  Mean- 
while, Eric  Heiden  became  another 
winter  hero,  as  he  won  five  gold 
medals,  cleaning  up  in  all  the 
speed-skating  events. 

When  the  winter  games  came  to 
an  end,  we  were  pushed  back  into 
politics,  as  the  race  for  the  pre- 
sidency continued.  For  the  Repub- 
licans, the  elusive  Ronald  Reagan 
managed  to  stay  in  front  of  a  wide 
field  that  included  George  Bush, 
John  Anderson,  John  Connally  and 
Howard  Baker. 

All  of  this  happened  so  quickly 
that  we  had  almost  forgotten  all 
about  Pope  John  Paul  ll's  magical 
trip  across  the  United  States.  His 
stops  in  Boston,  New  York,  Chicago, 
Des  Moines  and  Washington 
brought  good  will  and  captured 
hearts     of     Catholics     and     non- 


Catholics  alike.  We  had  also  nearly 
forgotten  the  tragedies  that  were 
taking  place  in  the  South  Pacific. 
Thousands  of  Vietnam  boat  people 
wandered  aimlessly,  looking  for  a 
home,  while,  nearby,  thousands  of 
Cambodians  starved  to  death. 

The  economy  was  one  thing  we 
could  not  forget.  Fueled  by  a  gas 
shortage  in  the  summer,  gasoline 
prices  soared  from  85  cents  to  $1.15 
a  gallon.  The  call  for  new  energy 
sources  went  out  to  many,  but, 
unfortunately,  was  heard  by  few. 
And  in  January,  inflation  had 
reached  a  rate  of  18  percent 
annually. 

Still,  we  were  not  completely 
down.  The  year  in  sports  offered  an 
exciting    World    Series    and      an 
exciting  Super  Bowl,  both  won  by 
Pittsburgh.  Aging  Willie  Stargell  led 
the  Pirates  to  a  come-from-behind 
seven-game  victory  over  the   Bal- 
timore Orioles  in  October.  Then,  in 
January,  Terry  Bradshaw  and  the 
Steelers,  heavily  favored  against  the  ? 
Los  Angeles  Rams,   had  to  come| 
from  behind  twice  before  they  finally  s 
won,  31-19.  "

Probably  the  best  known 
publication  on  campus  is  THE 
POST,  but  there  are  many  types  of 
media  that  students  have  the 
opportunity  to  become  involved 
with. 

One  is  ATHENS  MAGA- 
ZINE, which  is  a  lab  magazine,  one 
of  two  self-supporting  university 
magazines  in  the  country.  The  class 
is  required  for  all  magazine  jour- 
nalism majors,  but  is  open  to  all 
journalism  students.  It  is  published 
quarterly.  Editor  of  the  spring  issue, 
Tim  Smith,  said, "ATHENS  MAGA- 
ZINE deals  with  southeastern  Ohio 


in  some  way.  The  stories  are  wide 
open;  there  are  political,  environ- 
mental and  historical  pieces.  In 
some  quarters  there  have  been  more 
town-related  articles  and  in  others 
quarters  more  student-related 
articles."  Smith  said  that  winter 
quarter  was  the  first  that  students 
were  graded  for  their  work. 

A  weekly  newspaper,  ATHENS 
NEWS  is  totally  self-supporting 
employing  four  full-time  and  about 
ten  part-time  people,  five  of  which 
are  students.  "We  try  to  print  things 
that  aren't  covered  in  other  media, 
exciting  news  that  readers  can't  find 


anywhere  else,"  Editor-Publisher 
Bruce  Mitchell  said.  "We  are  an 
advocacy-oriented  newspaper, 
meaning  we  don't  believe  there  is 
such  a  thing  as  total  objectivity." 

Another  newspaper  on  campus 
is  AFRO-AMERICAN  AFFAIRS.  The 
all-student  staff  puts  the  paper  out 
monthly,  but  due  to  technical 
difficulties  did  not  publish  an  issue 
fall  quarter.  AFRO-AMERICAN 
AFFAIRS  is  on  a  rotary  budget  of  the 
Center  Afro-American  Studies  and 
receives  funds  from  the  allocations,

Office.    According    to    Candace

news  in  the  university  and  in  Ohio. 
We  try  to  print  national  and 
international  news  that  affects  black 
students  in  the  Athens  community." 
The  green  radio  stations  are 
affiliated  with  ACRN  and  area 
Residence  Life  Programs.  They  are 
not  interconnected,  but  are  closed 
systems  only  broadcasting  to  the 
dorms  on  their  green. 


An  undergraduate  creative  arts 
publication,  SPHERE  MAGAZINE 
publishes  short  fiction,  poetry  and 
graphic  art.  Students  compose  the 
staff.  SPHERE  MAGAZINE  is  pub- 
lished annually,  coming  out  spring 
quarter. 

SPECTRUM  GREEN  is  OU's 
yearbook.  The  yearbook  is  self- 
supporting  and  the  staff  consists  of 
students.  "We  try  to  combine  the 


best  of  magazine  makeup  and 
design  with  the  needs  and  require- 
ments of  a  modern  college  year- 
book," editor  Scott  Powers  said. "A 
lot  of  people  comment  that  they've 
never  seen  a  yearbook  like  ours  — 
we  take  that  as  flattery.  The  Ohio 
University  yearbook  is  considered 
one  of  the  most  dynamic  in  the 
country."

A  professor  of  English,  Daniel 
Keyes  is  the  author  of  several  short 
stories,  three  novels,  and  is  current- 
ly working  on  his  fourth.  Keyes'  first 
major  short  story,  "Flowers  for 
Algernon"  was  widely  acclaimed 
and  when  he  rewrote  it  into  his  first 
novel  in  1966,  it  won  the  Nebula 
Award  for  Best  Novel. 

FLOWERS  FOR  ALGERNON 
deals  with  a  neurological  exper- 
iment performed  on  a  retarded  man 
and  the  results  and  effects  of  that 
experiment.  The  story  was  later 
made  into  a  screenplay  entitled 
CHARLY.  Cliff  Robertson  won  an 
Oscar  for  Best  Actor  in  1969 
portraying  Charly. 

Keyes'  second  novel,  THE 
TOUCH,  released  in  1968,  deals 
with  the  trauma  in  a  nuclear  plant 
accident.  His  third  novel  has  been 
accepted  by  his  publisher  and  is 
scheduled  for  release  in  the  fall  of 
1980. 

Last  summer,  CHARLY  was 
made  into  a  musical  drama  by  David 
Rodgers,  with  music  score  written 
by  Charles  Strauss,  who  also  wrote 
the  music  to  several  popular 
musicals,  including  ANNIE  and 
GOLDEN  BOY.  The  musical  opened 
in  Canada  in  December,  1978  to 
standing  ovations  and  rave  reviews. 

There  is  now  a  producer 
working  to  get  backers  to  bring 
CHARLY  to  Broadway.  And  ABC 
has  shown  an  interest  in  doing  a  T.V. 
special. 

In  his  13th  year  as  a  faculty 
member  of  the  English  Department, 
Keyes  is  on  leave  so  that  he  can 
devote  full  time  to  his  current 
project,  the  biography  of  Billy 
Milligan,  who  is  said  to  have  ten 
personalities.  Milligan  had  read 
FLOWERS  FOR  ALGERNON  and 
specifically  asked  that  Keyes  write 
his    biography.    Keyes   has   done 


research    in    multiple   personalities 
while  attending  Brooklyn  College. 

Keyes,  in  commenting  on  the 
fact  that  his  writing  deals  in 
psychological  matters,  said,  "Every 
writer  finds  his  or  her  area  to  work. 
I've  found  that  I'm  most  fascinated 


with  the  human  mind." 

He  added  that  he  does  plan  to 
go  into  other  things.  Whatever  these 
other  things  happen  to  be,  Keyes 
has  had  an  impact  on  both  readers 
of  his  books  and  students  in  his 
classes. 


Success  is  billowing  upward  for  English  professor  Daniel  Keyes.

Hodding  Carter  III  and  David 
Brinkley  headlined  the  World 
Communication  Conference  enti- 
tled "Communication  in  the  21st 
Century,''  held  April  27th  through 
May  4th. 

Carter,  assistant  secretary  of 
state  for  public  affairs,  opened  the 
conference  with  a  keynote  address 
entitled  "International  Communica- 
tions: Rights  and  Responsibilities" 
on  Friday,  April  27  in  Memorial 
Auditorium. 

Carter  said  the  United  States 
press  and  government  are  the  best 
in  the  world,  but  not  good  enough. 
He  said  the  inverted  pyramid  is  an 
unrealistic  style  to  use  in  today's 
active  news  world.  Carter  added 
that  the  news  media  are  inaccurate 
in   international  coverage  and   the 


media  do  not  cover  enough  interna- 
tional news. 

Brinkley,  anchorman  for  the 
"NBC  Nightly  News,''  refuted 
Carter's  charges  on  international 
coverage  in  a  Kennedy  Lecture  on 
Sunday  evening,  April  29  at  Memor- 
ial Auditorium.  Brinkley  said  that 
Americans  are  interested  in  local 
news  first,  national  news  second 
and  international  news  last.  He  said 
that  the  lack  of  time  and  interest 
keep  international  coverage  at  a 
minimum.  But  Brinkley  added  that 
he  thinks  important  international 
events  are  covered  well  and  stories 
such  as  the  Iranian  Revolution  were 
perhaps  overly  covered.  He  pointed 
out  that  time  is  a  problem  because 
local  affiliates  do  not  want  to  give 
the  networks  extra  time  to  cover 


more  news. 

Brinkley  answered  questions 
ranging  from  what  he  does  on  the 
job  to  whether  he  would  replace 
Johnny  Carson  on  the  "Tonight 
Show."  He  assured  the  audience  he 
would  not  be  replacing  Carson  and 
had  not  even  heard  the  rumor. 

The  School  of  Journalism  held 
its  annual  banquet  on  May  3  in

director  of  photography  for  NA-

about  the  importance  of  great 
events,  rather  than  stories. 

Gilka  and  Paul  Miller,  director 
of  Gannett  Company,  received  Carr

award  given  by  the  School  of 
Journalism.  Gilka  began  his  career

Colleen  Dishon,  editor  of  the 
Tempo  section  of  THE  CHICAGO 
TRIBUNE,  was  also  honored  at  the 
banquet.  Dishon,  whose  career  also 
began  in  Zanesville,  and  has  taken

The  Black  Communication  Caucus  met  at  Alden  Library  as  one  aspect  of  Communication

THE  MILWAUKEE  JOURNAL  and 
the  CHICAGO  DAILY  NEWS,  is 
noted  for  transforming  the  Tempo 
section  from  a  normal  women's 
section  to  a  magazine  section. 

Panel  discussions  were  held 
throughout  the  week  in  Alden 
Library.  A  panel  on  "World  Adver- 
tising and  Public  Relations:  Patterns

ALL-NIGHT  ACRN 

There  may  still  have  been  as 
many  as  60  people  out  there 
listening  to  him  on  ACRN  radio 
when  it  got  to  be  4  a.m.,  but  there 
was  really  no  way  for  him  to  know. 
So  Dave  Dolinsky  would  just  keep 
cueing  up  records  and  talking  to  his 
invisible   audience   every   Tuesday 


morning  from  2  to  7. 

But  for  those  persons  with 
cable  radio  who  were  staying  up  all 
night  studying  or  partying,  Dolinski 
and  the  other  all-night  ACRN  D.J.s 
were  a  constant  source  of  music. 
And  that  there  was  another  voice 
out  there,  another  person  trying  to, 
and  succeeding  at,  staying  awake. 


For  Kolinski,  his  weekly  all- 
nighter  meant  having  to  drink  up  to 
a  quart  of  mattee  tea  and  orange 
juice  during  the  night.  It  meant 
having  to  disrupt  his  Mondays  and 
Tuesdays  to  prepare  for  and  recover 
from  his  radio  shift.  And  it  meant 
missing  his  Tuesday  morning  class 
as  often  as  not. 


Dave  Dolinski  continues  to  cue  records  into  the  night,  not  sure  just  how  many  continue  to  listen. 


216 


IfM 


But  the  late-night  shift  gave 
Dolinski  and  the  others  an  op- 
portunity to  play  music  that  they 
might  not  have  been  able  to  play 
during  the  day.  After  all  there  is 
nothing  conventional  about  being 
up  at  4  a.m.,  whether  studying, 
partying  or  playing  records  on  a 
Tuesday  morning.  , 


Up  late  studying,  Sue  Palm  listens  to 
late-night  ACRN. 


Top  -  Known  by  listeners  as  "Crazy  Dave,"  he  said  he  got  a  lot  of  calls  in  one  night  telling 
him    to    quit    playing    "Cleveland    music"    and    get    back    to    Athens-type    rock'n'roll.

You'd  think  that  a  broadway 
production  was  about  to  take  place. 
Just  walk  into  one  of  the  eight  campus 
sorority  houses  a  week  before  fall 
classes  begin.  Inside  you  will  find  skit 
rehearsals,  song  practices  and  an 
over-abundance  of  decorations,  name 
tags  and  refreshments,  all  for  the 
coming  week  of  fall  rush. 

Panhellenic  Preview  is  the  first 
contact  the  OU  girls  have  with  the 
Greek  system.  Panhel  members  go 
from  green  to  green  with  a  slide 
presentation  of  OU  Greeks  explaining 
sorority  and  fraternity  life. 

The  week  of  rush  begins  with  the 
Panhellenic  Association  organizing 
the  hundreds  of  girls  into  small 
groups.  A  rush  counselor  escorts  each 
group  to  the  sorority  houses.  Open 
House  is  the  first  of  the  five-day 
parties  that  allows  rushees  to  casually 
meet  the  girls  from  each  house. 

The  following  days  are  filled  with 
excitement  as  sororities  set  their 
theme  parties  and  perform  skits  and 
dances  demonstrating  what  their 
sorority  means  to  them.  After  three 
days  of  parties,  the  rushees  all  meet 
again  and  fill  out  bid  cards  for  the 
houses  they  choose  to  join.  Meanwhile 
the  sororities  also  make  lists  of  girls 
they  would  like  as  sisters.  Panhel  then 
matches  the  cards  from  the  rushee 
lists  from  the  sororities. 

Fraternity  rushing  follows  the 
sorority  rush  a  week  later  without  the 
formal  structure  set  up  for  sororities. 
Rules  are  set  up  by  the  Fraternity 
Council  (IFC)  but  the  individual 
fraternities  organize  their  own 
system  of  rush.  Open  House  is 
publicized  in  THE  POST,  and  large 
banners  are  displayed  over  the 
houses. 

A  relaxed  atmosphere  that 
includes    alcoholic    beverages    and 


Greek  Rush. 


En  masse,  the  Chi  Omega*  greet  their  new  pledges.

A  New  Beginning 


Lasting  friendship  and  love  is  symbolized  by  a  "welcome" 
hug. 

231 


other  refreshments  is  the  standard 
procedure.  Fraternities  do  devise 
theme  parties  for  each  of  the  five 
nights  of  rush.  When  a  house  feels 
comfortable  with  a  certain  individual 
they  ask  him  to  pledge. 

Black  Greeks  pledge  new 
members  in  a  very  individual  and 
selective  procedure.  They  organize 
their  own  time  of  rush  which  usually 
is  not  during  a  specific  week.  When 
they  need  new  members  they  set  up  a 
reserved  room  in  Baker  Center  and 
send  out  flyers  to  the  men  and  women 
on  campus.  There  the  fraternity  or 
sorority  meets  the  rushees  in  a  very 
relaxed  but  serious  atmosphere.  From 
this  time  on  it  is  up  to  the  sorority  or 
fraternity  to  decide  who  they  would  1 
like  to  meet  again  and  maybe  pledge  | 
into  their  organization.  g 


In  a  circle  of  sisterhood,  Chi  Omegas  initiate  their  new  pledges. 


Rush  counselors  pull  together  final  ideas  before  rushees  enter.

Everyone  had  left  Ewing  Field 
and  all  that  remained  was  some  litter. 
But  in  the  minds  of  those  who  sat  on 
the  grass  earlier,  there  lingered 
hundreds  of  images  of  the  color, 
sounds  and  often  silliness  of  J-Prom 
1979. 

Blocks  away,  costumed  char- 
acters, sound  men  and  flat-carriers 
were  pulling  tape  from  their  mouths 
and  shouting  the  outcome  at  the 
awards  presentation.  There  was 
reason  for  celebration.  After  a  year's 
absence,  J-Prom  had  returned  to  Ohio 
University  a  success,  on  May  9-10. 

Many  persons  on  campus  doubted 
J-Prom  would  come  back.  Only  juniors 
and  seniors  had  ever  seen  the  event 
and  known  how  much  planning,  time 
and  rehearsal  each  15-minute  skit 
required. 

Ric  Gale,  co-chairman  of  the 
overall  winners,  said  he  felt  the 
one-year  gap  did  not  hurt  his  group. 

"It  was  not  a  problem.  We  had 
nothing  to  base  our  ideas  on,  so  we  had 
to  use  our  own  creativity  more,"  he 
said.  "I  think  it  helped  us  a  lot." 

Four  groups,  all  combinations  of 
Greek  units,  entered  under  the  theme 
"Behind  the  Scenes:  What  if  ...  " 

The  skits  featured  a  variety  of 
ideas,  from  TV  stars  at  a  disco  to  a 
musical  version  of  THE  EXORCIST. 
Each  group  had  to  write  scripts  and 
songs,  choreograph  dance  numbers, 
and  paint  scenery  for  their  ideas. 

"There  was  definitely  competi- 
tion between  the  groups,  but  it  was 
not  the  overriding  factor."  said  Linda 
Lee,  who  played  one  of  the  characters 
in  the  Chi  Omega-Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
skit. 


J-Prom 
strikes  again 


"I'd  never  performed  before  and 
I  really  enjoyed  it.  J-Prom  teaches  you 
discipline  and  how  to  work  to  a 
common  goal,"  she  said. 

"J-Prom  is  a  Greek  tradition; 
we're  the  only  ones  who  keep  it  going. 
You  always  say,  'I'm  not  going  to  do  it 
this  year,'  but  you  always  end  up 
doing  it  and  enjoying  it,"  said  Karla 
Finger  of  the  Alpha  Ki  Delta-Beta 
Theta  Pi  group. 

Chris  Armstrong,  Delta  Tau 
Delta  one  of  the  marshals  in  charge  of 
overseeing  each  group,  said  he  felt 
that  this  year's  J-Prom  was  well 
planned. 

"The  committee  and  marshals 
took  time  to  cover  all  the  bases  with 
the  groups,"  he  said.  "It  was  a  good 


experience.  I  hope  it  stays  around  for 
a  long  time." 

At  the  awards  presentation.  Chi 
Omega-Lambda  Chi  Alpha  won  the 
best  overall  skit,  best  songs,  and  best 
choreography  trophies.  Alpha  Gamma 
Delta  —  Delta  Tau  Delta  was  second 
overall,  with  trophies  for  best  scenery 
and  banner.  Alpha  Xi  Delta  —  Beta 
Theta  Pi  won  the  award  for  best 
costumes.  The  fourth  participating 
group  was  Phi  Mu  —  Theta  Chi. 

"J-Prom  brought  about  an 
inter-and  intra-house  closeness."  said 
Gale.  "It  was  a  good  learning 
experience."

An  uninformed  observer  at  Putnam 
Field  might  have  wondered  if  two 
quarters  had  passed  in  the  blink  of  an 
eye,  as  OU's  fraternities  and 
sororities  participated  in  the  Greek 
Week  activities  this  fall. 
The  annual  event  was  moved  from 
spring  to  fall  to  open  the  calendars  of 
the  Greek  chapters,  usually  crowded 
with  formals  and  even  busier  with  the 
return  of  J-Prom. 
The  move  created  some  problems, 
according  to  co-chairpersons  Linda 
York  and  Tim  Hopkins. 
"It  was  tough  to  swing  Greek  Week 
this  year."  said  Hopkins.  "The  people 
involved  were  not  used  to  the  change, 
and  there  was  not  enough  time  to 
organize  properly." 
"It  was  hard  getting  places  large 
enough  to  accommodate  the  events 
because  it  was  held  so  late  in  the 
quarter."  added  York. 
Still,  those  who  participated  seemed 
to  enjoy  the  week's  activities,  which 
included  a  bed  race,  chug-off.  Gong 
Show  and  the  traditional  Greek 
games. 
This  year's  events  marked  the  first 
time  black  Greek  chapters  were 
involved,  participating  in  the  Gong 
Show  and  service  projects  which 
raised  $426.85  for  United  Appeal. 
A  new  event  was  the  "Greek  God 
and  Goddess"  Contest,  which  proved 
to  be  a  cross  between  a  fashion  show 
and  the  $1.98  Beauty  Contest. 
"The  Greek  God  thing  was  fun  to 
do.  It  differed  from  all  the  points  and 
glory  that  has  been  involved  with 
events  in  the  past,"  said  Hopkins. 
"We  tried  to  shy  away  from 
everyone  going  for  each  others' 
throats.  I  hope  the  competition  aspect 
is  played  down  in  the  future,"  he 

said.

-Ping  &  Persons 


In  1979  it  became  apparent  that  Ohio 
University  had  finally  reached  stable 
ground  financially,  and  was  ready  to 
prepare  itself  for  what  looked  to  be  a  rough 
decade  —  the  1980s.  The  university  had 
been  floundering  from  crisis  to  crisis  for 
several  years,  and  appeared  to  be  heading 
in  no  particular  direction  before  Charles 
Ping  became  president  in  1975. 

But  plans  and  programs  laid  out  by 
Ping  and  his  administration  for  straighten- 
ing things  began  to  bear  fruit  this  year. 

"For  the  first  time  in  at  least  eight  or 
nine  years  we  haven't  faced  any  budget 
crises  in  the  fall  quarter."  said  James  L. 
Brunning.  vice-president  for  planning  and 
development.  "We  had  a  solid  budget  this 
year  for  the  first  time  in  a  long  while." 

How  had  the  university  gotten  out  of 
the  hole  in  the  first  place? 

"A  few  years  ago  the  storms  beating  on 
the  university  were  frightening."  Ping  said 
in  his  Convocation  Address  in  September. 
"Unanticipated  enrollment  decline,  an 
inability  to  meet  debt  payments  and  a 
threat  of  default  on  bonds,  a  biennial 
budget  that  was  $6  million  out  of  balance, 
a  skepticism  about  Ohio  University  in  the 
minds  of  leaders  of  state  government  and 
the  general  public,  destructive  patterns  of 
student  life,  a  gnawing,  anxious  doubt  that 
kept  faculty  and  students  from  viewing 
with  pride  the  richness  of  life  here  at  Ohio 
University." 

In  the  past  couple  of  years  progress  has 
been  made  to  overcome  these  problems. 
Much  of  this  progress  can  be  attributed  to 
a  six-point  Education  Plan,  developed  in 
1977,  to  give  the  university  direction.  The 
plan  included  a  commitment  to  the  ideal  of 
a  university;  a  commitment  to  measure  the 
growth  of  the  university  in  terms  of  quality 
instead  of  quantity;  a  commitment  to  the 
intellectual  community;  a  commitment  to 
the  international  community  and  develop- 
ing education  for  interdependence;  a 
commitment  to  life-long  learning;  and  a 
commitment  to  educational  justice. 

Of  course,  a  number  of  problems  still 
exist  and  are  cropping  up  at  the  university. 
But  now  that  Ping  and  the  other  adminis- 
trators are  no  longer  fighting  crises  left  over 
from  the  past,  they're  in  a  better  position  to 
tackle  these  problems,  Ping  said. 

After  just  three  years  at  Ohio 
University.  Ping  almost  left  in  the  spring. 
He  applied  to  fill  the  vacant  presidency  at 
Michigan  State,  but  after  being  selected  as 
a  finalist,  withdrew  his  application. 

"I  thought  long  and  hard  about  it;  I 
decided  to  stay  here."  Ping  said.  "We  had 
a  lot  of  people  who  had  invested  a  lot  of 
time  toward  attaining  our  goals.  There 
were  a  lot  of  factors,  though.  I  guess  it  was 
mostly  the  people." 

It's  the  diversity  of  students,  among 
other  things,  that  kept  Ping  here.  He's  quick 


to  note  that  Ohio  University  has  the  highest 
percentage  of  out-of-state  and  internation- 
al students  of  any  state  university  in  Ohio. 

"A  number  of  students  chose  this 
institution  deliberately."  Ping  said.  "They 
don't  just  go  here  to  go  to  college." 

And.  according  to  Ping,  the  quality  of 
students  coming  here  has  improved. 

"As  I  look  at  the  circulation  figures  in 
the  library,  they've  had  a  four-fold 
increase  in  10  or  12  years.  The  use  of  the 
library  reserve  shelf  also  shows  a  dramatic 
increase."  he  said.  "All  of  that  suggests  that 
whatever  else  students  are  doing,  they're 
not  spending  all  their  time  partying." 

Not  that  he  is  against  partying. 
"Alcohol,  like  any  other  substance  is  what 
you  do  with  it  —  good  or  bad."  he  said. 
"Parties  are  not  necessarily  bad;  I  go  to 
parties.  I  like  parties." 

Ping's  right-hand  man  in  the  adminis- 
tration is  provost  and  vice-president  for 
academics,  Neil  Bucklew.  Bucklew.  who 
came  to  Ohio  University  with  Ping  from 
Central  Michigan  University,  has  been 
described  as  sharing  the  presidency.  He 
was  responsible  for  the  planning  process 
that  helped  bring  stability  to  the  university, 
and  his  responsibilities  include  directing 
the  instructional  programs. 

Perhaps  the  most  controversial 
administrator  during  the  year  was  Carol 
Harter.  the  vice-president  and  dean  of 
students.  She  was  responsible  for  the  1804 
birthday  party  in  June  and  the  Halloween 
party,  both  held  in  the  Convocation  Center. 
Each  of  these  moves  were  partly  responsi- 
ble for  reducing  the  annual  uptown 
disturbances  during  those  nights.  She  was 
also  involved  in  the  new  seating  regulation 
for  Convo  concerts,  a  move  intended  to 
increase  safety  and  crowd  control.  Harter 
is  responsible  for  residence  halls,  student 
organizations  and  activities,  and  student 
support  services. 

As  vice-president  for  planning  and 
development.  Brunning's  job  deals  mainly 
with  keeping  things  moving  along. 
However,  he  headed  an  effort  to  bring 
about  a  change  in  the  faculty-adviser 
program  and  a  structural  change  in  the 
university  college,  to  increase  advising. 

Wayne  Kurlinski,  the  vice-president 
for  university  relations,  is  involved  in 
promoting  outside  understanding  and 
support  for  the  university.  He  led  the 
fantastically  successful  1804  Fund,  which 
concluded  in  the  fall  after  netting  the 
university  over  $22  million.  In  addition,  he 
deals  with  alumni,  government  relations 
and  publications. 

Gene  Peebles  is  vice-president  of 
operations  and  his  responsibilities  cover 
everything  from  security  to  facilities 
planning.  It  was  out  of  his  office  that  the 
findings  of  the  Special  Utilization  and 
Management  Study  will  be  carried  out. 


This  will  include,  over  the  next  several 
years,  a  reduction  in  buildings  and  floor 
space  at  the  university. 

But  that  is  yet  to  come.  Now  that  the 
university  has  declared  itself  to  be  on 
stable  ground,  Ping  and  his  crew  still  have 
a  hard  fight  ahead. 

"We  have  weathered  the  storm;  the  „ 
ship  is  afloat  sailing  in  a  strong  wind."  Ping  f 
said.  "But  the  seas  ahead  are  heavy,  and  we  S. 
must  be  at  the  tasks  of  trimming  the  sails  s 
and  setting  a  course."  <" 


President  Ping  points  to  new  directions  for

Persons  o£  the  World 


If  you  ask  the  question,  "Where 
are  you  from?"  at  Ohio  University, 
never  assume  you  will  be  given  such 
responses  as  "Cincinnati."  or 
"Toledo."  There  are  students  here 
who  would  reply  "Ankara,"  "Cal- 
cutta," or  "Izmir."  Obviously,  they 
do  not  go  home  for  the  weekend. 

Over  1,000  international 
students  here  in  Athens  boast  an 
array  of  backgrounds  —  from  China, 
Malaysia  and  Taiwan;  to  Pakistan, 
Saudi  Arabia  and  Iran;  to  Peru, 
Turkey  and  Nigeria;  to  Egypt,  Libya 
and  Norway  .  .  .  the  list  goes  on. 

International  students  reside  on 
all  greens  at  OU,  though  many  of 
them  choose  to  live  in  Shively  or 


Perkins  halls,  which  are  internation- 
al dorms  located  on  the  East  Green. 
Some  are  graduate  students,  some 
are  freshmen.  Their  majors  differ,  as 
do  their  campus  activities,  opinions 
of  American  culture  and  of  OU. 

Luis  Felipe  Valcarcel,  is  a 
25-year-old  graduate  student  in 
Business  Administration  from  Lima, 
Peru.  He  was  a  1977  graduate  from 
the  Universidad  de  Lima.  Valcarcel 
had  friends  from  Lima  who  attended 
OU  in  1974  and  1976.  He  admits  he 
came  to  school  with  a  distorted 
picture  of  Athens,  influenced  by  his 
friends. 

Lima  is  all  cement  according  to 
Valcarcel  who  was  overwhelmed  by 


the  lush  hills  of  southern  Ohio.  He 
described  his  first  view  of  OU's 
campus  as  fascinating.  Valcarcel, 
the  only  Latin  American  student  in 
Shively,  became  involved  in  dorm 
government  and  Tae-Kwon-Do  and 
is  a  member  of  the  OU  Latin 
American  Association. 

Sedat  Gokcen,  an  electrical 
engineering  major  from  Turkey, 
represents  the  international  students 
on  the  Student  Advisory  Board.  He 
is  a  Resident  Assistant,  formerly  in 
Gamertsfelder,  currently  in  Shively, 
and  he  hopes  to  become  an  Assistant 
Resident  Director.  He  chose  to  study 
outside  of  Turkey  because  of  the 
internal  conflicts  in  his  country,  and 
had  never  been  in  the  U.S.  before 
his  arrival  on  campus,  which  he  now 
likes. 

On  the  other  hand,  Sudata 
Gupta,  a  history  major  from  Calcut- 
ta, India,  finds  OU  and  Athens 
satisfactory,  but  observes,  that 
"there  is  no  existence  outside  of  the 
campus." 

Gupta,  another  graduate 
student,  found  that  arriving  at  OU 
two  days  before  classes  began  gave 
her  little  time  to  adjust  to  a  new  city, 
a  new  culture  and  a  new  education 
system.  Standing  in  lines  for  three 
hours  at  Chubb  Hall  did  not  add  to 
her  pre-conceived  notion  of  "Amer- 
ican efficiency"  either. 

Adjustments  were  not  too 
difficult  for  her  and  some  differ- 
ences, such  as  the  informal  teacher- 
student  relations  on  campus,  Gupta 
found  extremely  fascinating. 

Already  fluent  in  English, 
Gupta  had  no  language  problems, 
but  that  is  not  the  case  with  many 
foreign  students.  Many,  Gupta  says, 
find  that  life  in  the  United  States  can 


Though  tensions  sometimes  exist,  international  students  usually  find  help  from  American 
students.

Like  any  other  students,  international  students  find  their  first  priority  to  be  books.

be  very  lonely.  Gupta  has  overcome 
this  because  of  her  basic  interest  in 
people  and  other  cultures.  She 
attributes  having  many  American 
friends  to  being  willing  to  adjust  to, 
even  if  she  cannot  fully  accept, 
value  differences.  "You  can  find  out 
about  people  by  reading  books," 
Gupta  says,  "But  books  don't  talk 
back  to  you  —  people  do." 

And  while  foreign  students  may 
be  thousands  of  miles  from  home, 
often  they  are  affected  by  interna- 
tional crises,  as  in  the  case  of 
freshman  Jahandar  Ketabchi,  from 
Tehran,  Iran.  He  is  a  civil  engineer- 
ing major  and  one  of  three  Iranians 
in  Shively. 

Ketabchi  misses  his  family,  but 
would  not  want  to  go  back  to  Iran. 
Due  to  the  turmoil,  everything  was 
closed,  and  he  was  bored.  Ketabchi 
does    not    support    the    Shah    or 


Khomeini,  and  is  not  involved  with 
protests,  but  the  situation  in  Iran  has 
also  created  difficulties  in  financing 
his  education.  Money  goes  through  a 
great  deal  of  red  tape  before  he 
receives  it. 

Ketabchi  finds  Athens  enjoy- 
able and  hasn't  encountered  the 
problems  that  some  Iranians  on 
college  campuses  have  as  a  result  of 
American  ill-feelings. 

He  compared  Khomeini  to  the 
pope,  noting  that  he  is  qualified  to 
run  religion,  but  not  politics. 
Ketabchi  would  wait  until  the 
turmoil  is  over  before  he  would  go 
back  to  Iran,  but  the  situation  has 
caused  him  considerable  reflection. 
He  has  mixed  feelings  about  where 
he  will  eventually  live.  Right  now  he  % 
has  to  concentrate  on  finishing  his  <B 
freshman  year.  I

Student  Senate 
Battles  For  Its  Li£e 


In  1979-80  Student  Senate  faced 
its  greatest  challenge  in  its  four-year 
history  with  the  duty  of  ratifying  a 
new  constitution.  It  took  18  months 
of  study  before  the  final  document 
was  presented  to  the  student  body  by 
the  Constitutional  Review  Task 
Force. 

A  winter  quarter  campaign  was 
highlighted  by  feverish  confronta- 
tions between  the  Senate  and  THE 
POST.  Although  82  percent  of  those 
voting  approved  the  constitution,  the 
document  came  within  54  votes 
|17.4' '- )  of  receiving  the  necessary  18 
percent  of  the  student  body  vote 
needed  for  ratification. 

"Communication,  internal  and 
external,  remains  a  problem,"  said 
Judicial  Chairperson  Ardis  Edmon- 
son. "It  was  reflected  in  the 
constitution  vote." 

Rejecting  the  idea  of  permanent 
reinstatement  by  the  administration, 
the  senate  chose  instead  to  take  a 
revised  constitution  back  to  the 
student  body  for  yet  another  vote. 

"The  things  we  faced  this  year 
taught  us  that  we  can't  be  all  things 
to  all  people,"  said  senate  president 
Kevin  Williams,  after  defeat  of  the 
document.  "The  same  people  that 
say  that  the  Student  Senate 
shouldn't  exist  are  the  same  ones 
asking  the  members  for  help  in 
solving  their  problems." 

The  Senate  met  the  administra- 
tion head  on  over  issues  such  as  the 
controversial  Convo  concert  policy, 
which  limited  the  use  of  the  Convo 
for  future  concerts.  The  Senate  also 
protested  the  lack  of  input  on  this 
and  other  decision-making  commit- 
tees and  eventually  won  approval 
for  most  of  its  suggested  revisions. 

The  Senate  commissions 
continued  to  be  the  backbone  of  the 
Senate.  The  Academics  Commission 


and  a  Senate  task  force  appeared 
before  the  faculty  and  administra- 
tion with  improvement  on  the 
advising  system  and  produced  an 
advisee's  bill  of  rights.  The  Judicial 
Commission,  stripped  of  its  tradi- 
tional input  into  judicial  hearings, 
continued  to  advise  students  of  the 
judicial  process  and  to  investigate 
student  grievances  year  round. 

The  Escort  Service  began  full 


operation  again  in  mid-January 
under  executive  coordinator  Lisa 
Lightfoot.  Along  with  130  other 
volunteers,  the  Escort  Service  was 
operating  even  better  than  its  initial 
year. 

Senate  treasurer  Dave  Halt 
summed  up  the  year  by  saying,  "At 
times  it  can  be  a  pain  in  the  ass,  but 
sometimes  you  have  to  take  a  pain  in 
the  ass  to  defend  student  interests." 


President  Kevin  Williams  survived  a  lot  ol  flak,  but  hit  senate  might  not.

Communication  Director  Chrissie  Miller  and  Jim  Burke,  who  ascended  to  the  vice  presidency  when  Kathy  Core  resigned. 


Internal  dissension  and  criticism  for  THE  POST  left  surviving  senators  frowning,  even  before  the  constitution-vote.

Ohio  University  in  very  fortun- 
ate to  be  a  part  of  the  Cultural 
Exchange  Program  implemented  by 
Vice  President  Mondale  which 
established  a  cultural  and  educa-

and  China.  At  the  present  time,  OU 
has  13  students  from  China. 

fimmy  Yan,  and  Willford  and 


Mimi  Sheng.  enrolled  at  OU  in 
September  and  were  among  200 
privately  sponsored  students  in  a 
broad  sampling  of  colleges  across 
the  country,  primarily  Ivy  League 
and  larger  state  universities. 

After  five  months  of  living  in

problem    has   been    the    language. 

Willford  has  studied  English  for 
three  years  in  China  and  is  now  in 
the  Ohio  Program  of  Intensified 
English.  Willford  and  Mimi  have 
spent  little  time  for  entertainment  in 
their  new  environment  because 
there  is  too  much  school  work. 

When  asked  if  the  couple  had 
any  preconceptions  about  Amer- 
icans before  coming  to  the  country, 
they  replied  that  they  hail  always 
pictured  Americans  dressing  very 
formally,  wearing  suits  and  ties,  but 
Willford  comments.  "Now  I  see 
they're  wearing  anything!" 

About  500  visiting  scholars  will 
also  attend  U.S.  universities.  Ohio 
University  now  has  five  visiting 
scholars  who  are  supported  by  both 
their  government  and  Oil.  Most  of 
the  scholars  arc  studying  mathema- 
tics or  engineering  and  are  in  their 
late  twenties  or  early  thirties. 

Chang  Yuan  Yin  has  found  in 
his  short  stay  in  the  U.S.  very 
interesting,  particularly  our  celebra- 
tion of  Christmas.  He  spent  the  day 
at  Dean  William  Dorrill's  house 
where  he  first  experienced  the  taste 
of  turkey.  Other  visiting  scholars 
included  Zhen-Zhao,  Zonglian  Fel, 
Hong-Qi  Yan  and  Song-Shi  Kang. 

OU  now  has  five  Chinese 
students  in  the  graduate  school: 
Da-Wei  Wang,  Yi  Chia  Tang,  Yuan 
Hung  |an.  Zhou  Hao  Xuan  and  Lu 
]iren.  Their  first  impression  of 
Americans  was  that  they  are  very 
friendly. 

So    far   the   cultural   exchange 
between  our  two  countries  has  been 
one-sided   but   James   Y.   Tong,   a

Dedicated  Persons 
Volunteer  Time  — 


Helping  the  menially  troubled  may  require  enthusiasm  and  patience,  or  sometimes  just  a  warm  hug. 


270 


Buses  bring  150  volunteers  each  Monday. 


The  Halloween  party  is  always  special  to  both  residents  and  volunteers. 


They  were  excited.  They  were 
going  to  the  Athens  Mall.  Yet  all  they 
had  to  spend  was  one  dollar;  but  to 
some  of  the  residents  of  the  Athens 
Mental  Health  Center,  it  was  more 
than  enough.  They  also  had  a  special 
group  of  friends  accompanying 
them:  students  who  volunteer  their 
Monday  nights  to  work  at  the  Health 
Center. 

The  residents  always  think  of 
Monday  evening  as  a  special  event. 
Some  greet  the  volunteers  with 
handshakes,  hugs  and  kisses  as  the 
students  step  off  the  bus. 

Residents  attend  Monday  night 
functions  with  much  enthusiasm. 
During  the  week,  they  ask,  "When 
are  the  volunteers  coming?"  And  the 
enthusiasm  is  contagious. 

"I  feel  really  good  when  I  get  off 
the  bus,"  said  volunteer  Sharon 
Poling.  "It  makes  me  feel  wanted 
and  needed." 

Most  volunteers  have  no  com- 
plaints. From  the  minute  they  step 
off  the  bus,  they  know  why  they  are 
there  —  to  help  their  friends  and 


have  fun  as  well. 

Besides  helping  around  the 
center,  the  volunteers  also  plan 
special  functions.  These  functions 
include  bus  trips  to  the  mall,  art 
exhibits  and  an  annual  Halloween 
party  when  both  residents  and 
volunteers  dress  up  in  their  wildest 
costumes  and  dance,  bob  for  apples, 
drink  cider  and  perform  skits. 

There  is  also  a  resident  volun- 
teer program  in  which  students 
participate.  One  such  student. 
Marcy  Yaffe,  lived  at  the  Mental 
Health  Center  this  past  summer.  In 
exchange  for  room  and  board,  Yaffe 
worked  fifteen  hours  a  week  in 
patient-related  activities.  Yaffe  said 
it  was  easy  to  become  attached  to  the 
women  she  lived  with. 

One  advantage  of  the  resident 
program  is  the  opportunity  residents 
have  to  observe  the  volunteer's 
lifestyle,  making  the  chances  of 
outside  living  much  greater  for  the 
resident. 

Yaffe  said  that  it  was  a  good 
experience.  She  loved  the  job  and 


the  people,  and  said  she  came  to 
think  of  them  as  friends  and  not 
patients. 

That  sentiment  was  echoed  by 
Julia  Smith,  a  three-year  volunteer 
who  started  going  to  the  center  on 
Monday  nights  during  her  freshman 
year  and  has  been  a  volunteer  since. 

Smith  loved  it  so  much  that  she 
changed  her  major  from  social 
studies  to  special  education.  Some- 
times she  missed  studying  for  exams 
so  she  could  go  to  the  center. 

It  seems  one  might  become 
depressed  after  witnessing  these 
people's  problems,  yet  none  of  the 
volunteers  seem  depressed.  Of 
course,  some  have  reservations.  "I 
sometimes  have  doubts  about 
whether  I  want  to  do  this  the  rest  of 
my  life,"  said  volunteer  Laura 
Stouffer.  But  she  said  she  always  has 
a  good  feeling  when  she  gets  home. 

Smith  agreed,  "They  just  want 
someone  to  listen  to  them  as  a  friend, 
I  would  do  anything  for  them,"  she 
added.

John  Reil,  ol  Gamertsfelder  Hall,  plays  with  his  dog,  Shadow. 


While  not  completely  blind,  Ralph  Johnson  is 
visually  handicapped,  but  special  viewing 
screens  help  him  overcome  this. 

"You  don't  have  to  be  perman- 
ently blind  or  deaf  to  make  use  of 
our  handicap  services,"  explains 
Tony  Coleman,  programs  director 
for  Affirmative  Action.  The  program 
is  designed  to  assist  all  handicapped 
students  ranging  from  permanently 
blind  or  deaf  to  the  temporarily 
impaired. 

Here  at  Ohio  University  there 
are  three  blind  students  that  take 
advantage  of  the  services.  One  of 
them    is    David    Andrews,    house

Handicapped  Persons 
Not  Impaired  At  OU — 


proctor  of  Delta  Tau  Delta  Fraterni- 
ty. Andrews  has  been  attending 
graduate  school  at  O.U.  since  fall 
1978  and  will  be  graduating  in 
March  1980.  He  has  found  his  way 
around  the  O.U.  campus  very 
successfully.  He  has  been  attending 
public  schools  since  the  sixth  grade. 
Each  quarter  David  plans  ahead 
by  ordering  tape  cassettes  which  are 
a  much  easier  form  of  studying  than 
big  and  bulky  Braille  text  books.  It 
takes  time  and  planning  to  order  the 


tapes  because  the  New  York  service 
he  uses  is  the  only  service  available 
today. 

But,  with  the  programs  being  set 
up  by  Coleman,  O.U.  will  soon  be 
taping  their  own  books  for  the  blind 
students,  offering  a  much  quicker 
service.  Besides  setting  up  a  taping 
system,  Coleman  is  also  designing  a 
Braille  Room  for  Alden  Library.  The 
room  will  accomodate  Braille 
typewriters,  talking  books,  and 
current  magazines. 


Another  service  that  will  be 
made  available  will  be  a  project 
called  "Circle  of  Care".  The  circle 
will  include  volunteers  from  Athens 
and  volunteer  students  that  will  help 
the  handicapped  in  any  way  they 
need. 

"Our  job  is  to  make  any  and  all 
handicapped   students   more   com-  1 
fortable    here    at    O.U.,"    says   1 
Coleman.  o

All  these  images  of 
Ohio  University  are  very 
real.  Each  of  the  ten 
views  demands  its  own 
recognition,  but  they're 
not  mutually  exclusive. 


286 


In  fact,  all  of  these 
views  must  surely  come 
together  to  form  one 
image  of  Ohio  University: 
the  image  we  take  with  us 
when  we  leave.
